CAT Agencies has joined forces with furniture specialist 2-Connect

CAT Agencies AS, an agency specializing in home textile products, has been acquired by 2-Connect.

CAT Agencies was founded 50 years ago by Carl Ankerstjerne and has been owned and managed by Charlotte Ankerstjerne for the past 30 years. The company specializes in designing, developing and supplying high-quality, ESG-compliant home textile products. CAT Agencies is built on long-term partnerships with both customers and suppliers, providing a range of value-added services and market-leading expertise in product development, design, ESG compliance and quality assurance. Headquartered in Roskilde, the company’s employees handle product development, design and sales, while sourcing products from suppliers in countries such as Pakistan, India and China.

2-Connect is a Danish furniture trading company that blends Scandinavian design with craftsmanship, resulting in high-quality furniture at competitive prices for a global customer base. The product range includes indoor and outdoor furniture, bathrooms, accessories and now home textiles.

Oaklins’ team in Denmark acted as the strategic and financial advisor to the owners of CAT Agencies in this transaction.

“A huge thank you to the Oaklins team for steering this process safely through to completion. Their deep understanding of complex transaction dynamics has been at the highest level throughout. Selling a family business built over two generations is a life-changing decision, and it was crucial to find the right solution — and they delivered.”
