Production locations and legal companies are shown separately. One company can operate at several locations.
We also supply customers in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Italy.
A warehouse in Helsingborg was an early step towards being closer to our customers. Today, we operate in six locations, four of them in Poland. Our proximity to customers and our warehouses support cost-effective transport and consistent load-carrier quality, regardless of the country of manufacture.

Explore our pallets and packagingA green start for Malte and Anna
In 1938, W. Hedlund & Co began making vegetable crates for growers around Genarp. We still manufacture crates for fruit and vegetables, but pallets and custom wooden packaging now account for a large part of the business.
Today, we produce and recycle more than one million pallets per year.
Malte and Anna Persson's approach lives on: start with what the customer needs and find a solution that works in practice. Delivery, quality and cooperation go together.
