What Bache does
Stiholt Erhverv (formed through the 2016 merger of Bache and Stiholt Erhvervsbiler) is an authorized IVECO dealer and workshop operator headquartered in Padborg, Denmark, and is positioned as Denmark's largest IVECO dealer. The business operates six strategically located branches across Aalborg, Aarhus, Esbjerg, Kolding, Padborg, and Vejle, selling new and used IVECO commercial vans and trucks (including the IVECO Daily range with 3-year full warranty and the newly launched eJolly and eSuperJolly electric vans introduced in June 2025) to commercial customers in transport, delivery, construction, and municipal services. Beyond vehicle sales, the company generates recurring revenue through flexible financing and leasing arrangements (example: from 3,795 DKK/month for an IVECO Daily box van), authorized workshop maintenance and repairs, 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, spare parts distribution leveraging IVECO's six European warehouses for next-day delivery, and custom vehicle upfitting to operator-specific requirements. Customer acquisition is sales-led through field transport consultants operating from the branch network, with supporting presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and the company website, complemented by branch open houses and industry events. Bache as a standalone legal entity ceased to exist following the 2016 merger; the combined entity operates today within the Stiholt Gruppen corporate family alongside sister company Stiholt Hydraulik, with a recently established Fleet Department (November 2025) extending the offering into managed fleet services for business customers.
