Clas Ohlson in brief
Customer focused since 1918
Clas Ohlson was founded in 1918 as a mail order company in Insjön, Dalarna, central Sweden. Our founder was fascinated by the new inventions that were emerging at the beginning of the last century and decided to make them accessible to everyone. He also invented a fair number of new products himself.
When customers visit Clas Ohlson today, they are met by a mix of smart and value-for-money solutions in carefully selected product niches that help solve all kinds of everyday needs. This, combined with the high level of customer satisfaction and availability via stores and online, makes us uniquely positioned in the market.

Our team of more than 5,000 co-workers guides and advises with a combination of knowledge and a shared ambition to provide customer satisfaction. The Club Clas loyalty scheme has more than 6.2 million members and the total number of customer interactions each year runs into hundreds of millions.
Clas Ohlson has sales in three markets (Sweden, Norway and Finland) via stores in attractive locations, and a rapidly growing and profitable online business. Through subsidiaries, we also offer spare parts, batteries and technology accessories to customers in the Nordics and several other European markets.
Clas Ohlson series B shares have been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 1999 and are held by about 45,000 shareholders. Much has happened since 1918, but the passion for smart solutions and exceeding customer expectations is as strong today as it was then.
