About Clas Ohlson

The company Clas Ohlson was founded in 1918 in Insjön, Sweden, as a mail order firm. Articles that initially only could be ordered via our catalogue are, since the late 1980s, available in all our stores and, since the mid-1990s, also online. When we celebrate our centennial in 2018, we do it with customers in five markets, almost 5,000 co-workers, and a turnover of around 8 billion Swedish kronor. We are a listed company on Nasdaq Stockholm. Much has happened since our first days but one thing has remained the same: our determination to help and inspire people to improve their daily lives every day, by offering smart, simple, practical solutions at attractive prices.
