STOCKHOLM: Citira, a European tire management provider, has agreed to acquire Malte Månson, a Swedish truck and bus maintenance provider, from private equity firm Accent Equity. The deal aims to create a single-source maintenance and tire service for heavy vehicle fleets in Sweden and beyond, a statement noted.
Malte Månson, an independent vehicle maintenance partner with a 108-year history, reported 2025 revenue of 773 million Swedish kronor. The company is known for round-the-clock service and expertise in servicing entire heavy vehicles, from drivetrain to ancillary equipment.
“Together with Malte, we can build a unique service offering for heavy vehicle fleets and users, delivering convenient and sustainable uptime, with only one point of contact for the customer,” David Boman, CEO of Citira, said in a statement. “I am deeply impressed by the high-caliber team at Malte, which will be an excellent fit with our network of tire shops.”
Staffan Lindewald, CEO of Malte Månson, said Citira was “a natural fit” given both companies’ roles as independent, service-focused challengers serving similar heavy-vehicle customers. “With Citira, we can reach more customers, provide additional services to our existing ones and accelerate Malte’s growth journey,” he said.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Lindewald and his management team will become co-owners of Citira.
Citira operates more than 150 service points, five retreading sites, and inhouse logistics across the Nordics, the U.K. and Poland, with over 1,200 employees.
