Pernod agreed in February to sell the assets to state-owned Altia for SEK835m (EUR87m, US$115m).
Brands sold to Altia include Explorer vodka, Lord Calvert whisky, 1 Enkelt bitter, Blossa glögg and Chill Out wines. A bottling facility located in Svendborg, Denmark, and two logistic centres located in Odense, Denmark and Årsta, Sweden, are also part of the sale.
