Worldwide from the kitchen table

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 Malmsten racing lane lines were manufactured in Hörby, Sweden. The first few years, Tommy and Margareta managed the assembling, sales and all administration by themselves and the inventory as well as the office was located in their home.

Now our broad product range covers almost everything needed for construction, renovation or managing a swimming pool. Malmsten is both a manufacturing as well as a trading company. Most products that we manufacture are done locally or in the vicinity.

In Sweden our customers are municipalities, construction companies, swimming pools and swimming clubs. About fifty percent of our total turnover comes from export sales.

Our prestige product is still the Malmsten racing lane lines, which often are seen in swimming pools during the major international swimming competitions such as the Olympic Games, World and European Championships.

Another Malmsten product with international success is the Swedish Goggles which have been used since the 1970's by the best elite swimmers worldwide.

Global growth with environmental focus

As a part of our environmental strategy, most of our production is located in Sweden. Racing lane lines, water slides, gratings, movable floors, stainless steel equipment, pool toys, and much more are made locally to minimize transportation and to optimize control and flexibility of the manufacturing process.

Through the recycling and reuse of materials natural resources are better preserved. Solar panels on our buildings help us reach our environmental goals.

In all activities we strive to reduce and prevent pollution, as well as conduct internal efforts that leads to continuous improvements.

In 2018, we have installed solar panels on the roof of both the office and one of the warehouse buildings to become partly self-sufficient in energy. 2019 solar panels are installed on the other buildings.

We work in a systematic way with improvements in our operations in terms of quality and environment and are certified according to both ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
