TO THE EMPLOYEES OF THE DTE GROUP

It is with great pleasure that we can announce, that we have entered into an agreement regarding the purchase of the company Dansk Eksport Emballage ApS (DEE) located in Føvling close to Vejen.
DEE has an annual turnover of approx. 50 million DKK and employs approx. 40 employees.

DEE will in the future become a department under Dansk Træemballage A/S on equal terms with our other departments in Denmark, with the department name DTE Føvling.
All employees from DEE will remain in DTE, and the department will continue to produce special packaging as today. The commercial goods that DEE sells today will in the future be delivered from other DTE departments.
In addition, DEE has many packaging tasks for good customers, which will continue, and we hope that we can expand this part of the business together.

We hope you will all welcome our new department, and together help us make use of the many synergies our family life gives us. We must continuously improve ourselves and be ready to adapt, in order to cope with the challenges, we face. If we constantly ensure this, we can maintain our positive development in earnings, which is the best security for our joint future.

We are delighted to welcome Dansk Eksport Emballage ApS into the DTE family.

Over the years, Dansk Træemballage A/S (DTE) has maintained a strong focus on sustainability and aspires to take a leading role in the industry within the framework of people, the environment, and economics. DTE adopts a systematic approach to environmental practices and has recently developed Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for a portion of their product portfolio.

Aligned with this commitment, DTE has decided to compile a climate account to support their systematic approach to climate action and investigate which activities contribute the most to carbon impact.

This approach will provide an understanding of the specific activities within DTE that drive climate effects. Subsequently, this knowledge can serve as a basis for identifying the most advantageous initiatives to achieve the greatest possible climate impact.

The climate account is thus an integral part of the company’s commitment to demonstrate responsibility, transparency, and compliance with increasing expectations for documenting the company’s impact on the environment.

It is a great pleasure that Dansk Træemballage A/S, DTE, after a short negotiation process, has agreed with the owner of Industripaller AS to take over the ownership of the company.

The DTE Group is the Nordic region’s largest wooden packaging industry and employs approx. 550 employees and has an annual turnover of DKK 1.3 billion. DTE has 6 production sites in Denmark, 4 production sites in Norway, 2 production sites in Sweden and a trading company in Germany.

We hope that all employees of Industripaller will experience the change of ownership positively and will welcome us. The company will continue as an independent company on equal terms with AVEN Holmestrand and Røyrås, and the management will remain unchanged. Together we must take advantage of the opportunities that a large group has, in order to get as much synergy out of the family as possible. With mutual help, we create results, and at the same time, we all want to learn something from each other through the new collaboration.

Kirk Kapital has bought 40 per cent. of Dansk Træemballage A/S (“DTE”), which is the leading producer of wooden packaging solutions in Scandinavia.

Dansk Træemballage develops and manufactures wooden packaging solutions for approx. 1,500 customers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and selected export markets. The company annually processes more than 150,000 cubic metres of cut wood and more than 350,000 cubic metres of raw wood at 11 production sites in Scandinavia. This makes Dansk Træemballage the leading market player in Scandinavia – a position that has been established through a combination of organic development and a series of acquisitions.

FEFPEB calls for the recognition of wooden pallets and wooden packaging as essential after Covid-19. Wooden pallets: 13 times higher antibacterial activity than plastic. Download the full press release (PDF) for further information.

We draw your attention to the fact that US Customs and Border Control as per 01-11-2017 has issued new guidelines for the import of wooden packaging. ISPM CSMS #17-000612. This is attached.

Our wooden packaging is properly treated, as prescribed in the order and also ISPM 15 stamped. Experience shows that the stamp may disappear or become unreadable over time. Missing a stamp can now result in very high fines.

We must therefore encourage you to be particularly aware that pallets and boxes intended for the USA are visibly and correctly stamped on two sides and should this not be the case on new products, we will be happy to correct them at no extra charge. In addition, we assume no responsibility.

If you have any questions about this, we are of course available.

Kind regards,

Dansk Træemballage (DTE) A/S
