| dbo:abstract |
Baugur Group (/ˈbaʊɡər/; Icelandic: [ˈpœiːɣʏr̥]) was an Icelandic investment company. The group began as a supermarket and general retail company in Iceland, before diversifying to own a number of businesses at its peak, primarily in the United Kingdom. Baugur was heavily affected by the Icelandic financial crisis that began in 2008, and applied for bankruptcy protection in February 2009. Its largest creditor Landsbanki applied to place Baugur's UK arm, BG Holdings, into administration that month. The group filed for bankruptcy in March 2009. (en) Die Baugur Group ['pøyɣʏr] war eine isländische Kapitalbeteiligungsgesellschaft. Baugur war vor seiner Insolvenz 2009 das größte Privatunternehmen Islands. Kerngeschäft der Holding war die Kapitalbeteiligung an Einzelhandelsketten, hauptsächlich in Skandinavien, dem Vereinigten Königreich und den Vereinigten Staaten. Baugur war mit Stand Juli 2008 weltweit an 4.300 Einzelhandelsgeschäften mit etwa 70.000 Mitarbeitern und einem Jahresumsatz von 9 Milliarden Pfund beteiligt. (de) Baugur Group est une société d'investissement islandaise dont les activités se concentrent principalement dans les secteurs du service, du commerce de détail et de l’immobilier en Islande, au Royaume-Uni et en Scandinavie. (fr) Baugur Group var ett isländskt investmentbolag. Ursprunget till koncernen var den dagligvarukedja, Bónus, som bildades 1989 av Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson och hans far Jóhannes Jónsson. Bara tre år senare var Bonus Islands och Färöarnas största livsmedelskedja. Efter en sammanslagning med en annan kedja 1993 bildades ett riskkapitalbolag, Baugur. Baugur noterades på isländska börsen 1998. Den utländska expansionen tog fart, främst genom investeringar i Storbritannien. 2003 köptes Baugur, nu under namnet Baugur Group, ut från börsen. Baugur hade ett innehav i flera hel- eller delägda bolag, bland andra Debenhams, , Keops och gallerian SOUK i Stockholm. Bolaget begärdes i konkurs den 4 februari 2009. (sv) |
