| About | Malmsten AB was founded 1974 by Tommy and Margareta Malmsten. With his roots in competitive swimming, both as an active swimmer and as a Swedish national coach, Tommy had a good intuition for products needed in the swimming industry. The company really started around the kitchen table, where the whole family was involved in assembling swimming goggles, one of our first successful products. In 1975, the product range was expanded and the Competitor racing lanes were manufactured in Horby, Sweden. The first few years, Tommy and Margareta managed the assembling, sales and all administration by themselves and the inventory and office were in their home. Over the years, the product range has expanded and today it covers almost all products needed to manage a swimming pool, build a new pool, or renovate an existing one or to manage a swimming pool. Malmsten AB is both a manufacturing and as well a trading company. Most products that we manufacture are done so locally or in the vicinity. The company is family owned with 12 employees at the head office in Ahus, Sweden. Malmsten AB has a wholly owned subsidiary in Gavle, where waterslides are sold, and manufactured by Ockelbo Plast, another partly owned, 75% , subsidiary. Within the group of companies are Swimtec in Kungsbacka, Steelpool in Eskilstuna and Vattenkvalitet in Gothenburg, which specialize in water treatment, stainless steel and pool chemistry. For the latter partners the owning structure is about one third for Malmsten. In Sweden our customers are municipalities, construction companies, swimming pools and swimming clubs. About fifty percent of our total turnover comes from export sales, where we sell abroad through distributors. Our prestige product is still the Competitor racing lanes, which often are seen in swimming pools during the major international swimming competitions such as the Olympic games, the World Championships and the European Championships. Another Malmsten product with international success are the Swedish Goggles which have been used for more than 25 years by the best elite swimmers around the world. |
