Chair of Board in Arendal Vintners, AS, Anders Holm.

Anders Holm (MSc) is head of the board and the second founding partners of Arendal Vintners. He has special interest in what comes out of the Langhe valley, and is heading a local collectors´ society.  – For the fun of it, he says. Anders is providing insight from an interesting business career, and characterizes the monopolized system in Norway as both good and bad. - It secures high quality and trustworthy retail. At the same time you can judge it as an apparatus for the well-established and dominant distributors, he explains.  There are interesting opportinities for emerging entities like Arendal Vintners, if they are succeeding in doing business from outside the established framework, he continues.

- We have at least two challenges in this sector today. One is that the Norwegian restaurateurs and collectors are cut off from the goodies if they are not operating internationally. This constitutes an opportunity for a company like ours. We can help them out.  Secondly, you need to provide vintages ready to drink without having to store them for decades. To adjust for these anomalies, you need at least one finger in the international trade to have a sound business, Anders Holm states!

Founding partner about the idea of Arendal Vintners

Founding partener, Cato Litangen

The interest in wine and the wine trade developed when part-timing in the Norwegian Wine Monopoly beside studies in political science and public management. The public opinion is that the institution secures high quality and reasonable pricing to the benefit of the consumer in Norway. At the same time it works as a good policy instrument for lowering the consumption in the population. Behind this monopolized retailing there are authorized private companies, doing imports and representation of foreign wine makers. Arendal Vintners is among them.

Arendal Vintners materialize the combination of traditional quality and new ways of doing things.

The normal trade happens by traditional representation and tenders from the Monopoly. Arendal Vintners is adhering to this system. However we also see an opportunity in the trade that develops from the extensive information platforms in the industry, and we try to use these systems to shape new services in the Norwegian market. This endeavour represents our “innovative approach” to the Norwegian business. So for me, Arendal Vintners materialize the combination of traditional quality and new ways of doing things.
