We have advised the founder and owner of tershine on its partnership with Relais Group.

tershine is the market leader in the premium car care segment in Sweden. Founded in 2017, the company has lowered the barrier to entry for car care with high-quality products that are both environmentally friendly and easy to use, and has established a strong brand amongst both dedicated car enthusiasts and everyday motorists. tershine combines a loyal customer base via its own e-commerce platform with sales in over 700 shops across the Nordic region and an organic community with more than 450,000 followers on social media, and has a growing international presence.

Relais Group is a serial acquirer focusing on the automotive aftermarket in Europe. The group acquires and develops leading businesses with strong cash flows, clear niche positions and long-term growth potential.

Through this deal, tershine gains a long-term and experienced ownership partner with a proven ability to build and scale Nordic brands globally. The partnership lays the foundation for the next phase of tershine’s growth journey, with international expansion and continued product development.

I have built tershine out of a genuine passion for car care and vehicles, with a strong focus on the environment and health in our products – without compromising on performance. I am proud of the position we have established in Sweden, and together with Relais we are now ready to take the next step into the international market. A huge thank you to the team at Clearwater, who have been brilliant every step of the way and have provided both expertise and support throughout the process – their help has meant a great deal.

Tobias Ericson, CEO and Founder, tershine

In a short space of time, Tobias has built one of the Nordic region’s strongest brands in the car care sector, with a product development programme and a community that few can match. We have had the pleasure of following his journey to becoming the Nordic market leader, and in Relais, tershine gains a partner with the resources and capacity required to continue growing beyond Sweden and the Nordic region. We would like to thank Tobias and the team for their trust.
