A green start for Malte and Anna
## It all started with a problem to solve
The old factory was in the centre of Genarp. The business moved to new premises in 2001.
Crates and photographs from our history.
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.
