For who?

Our customer groups are somewhat diverse, just like our business areas. However, we see it as a strength as we create networks across borders. Tape & Glue often works towards heavy industry, car and truck development and space research. Foil & Digital meets graphic companies, architects, printers, trade fairs, conference facilities, exhibitions and signmakers. Display & Decor works with both small and large companies, such as retail chains, advertising agencies and marketing departments.

Our history

1950s - KA Olsson is founded.

Late 1970s - We enter the field of adhesive materials for the screen and sign industry.

Early 1990s - We become a distributor for 3M ™ and the business areas Tape & Glue, and Foil & Digital is a fact. Today we are one of Sweden's largest distributors for 3M ™.

During the 90s - KA Olsson merges with Gems and becomes one of the strongest players in the market in our three areas.

Today - We are proud to be able to develop the company year after year without losing the core we have had since the start. Today, our Display & Decor department works with store chains all over the world.

Our three pillars

Colorful. We create the conditions for our clients to be able to add more color to their business, both physically and figuratively. In the collaboration, we are a colorful partner and innovator, who always strive for something beyond what is expected.

Formable. We often work with design of various kinds. But being a formable company is also about being able to change direction if needed. We work flexibly side by side with our client.

Functional. Function is crucial. Our work must be both functional and favorable for both ourselves and our customers.

We are, of course, moralists at our fingertips. 

We love the environment, we like our open and pleasant work climate, we treat everyone equally and sort at source. A company as large as we are should take responsibility for its actions. We also know that our suppliers are on the same track as us when it comes to moral and ethical work. We are happy about that.

The fact that our customers have begun to place high demands on our social responsibility when it comes to the environment and ethics encourages us to find new solutions and ways to promote the goal.

Strategic decisions and long-term overview. This is our board. The people responsible for KA Olsson & Gems holding the course.
