A Swedish armored car company will acquire Oregon Armored Service, Inc. for $5.7 million in a deal announced today.

Loomis plans to retain all of the Portland-based company's employees and contracts, worth about $6 million, chief executive Lars Blecko said in a written statement.

Both companies handle and transport cash for banks and other institutions. The sale will take effect Saturday.

Oregon Armored Service has a 26-year history in the state, and offices in Portland, Salem, Eugene and Medford. Loomis will fold the company into its U.S. division, which already has locations in Portland and Roseburg.

How would this affect The Portland Mint and the coins you get in?
