      History

      Orthex Group has a long tradition of manufacturing and marketing high quality household products. The three factories still remain in the locations where these three companies were originally founded: Gnosjö and Tingsryd in Sweden and Lohja in Finland.

      In 2010, Oy Orthex AB acquired Sveico AB. The acquisition brought the Group lots of knowhow in manufacturing high quality kitchen products. The GastroMax kitchen brand has a long history of cooperating with professional chefs in product development and many chefs use the products every day in their work. The vast range of kitchen products includes everything a home cook might need to cook like a professional chef.

      Orthex Group acquired Hammarplast Consumer AB in 2011, which broadened the product range even further with more storage and garden products. The SmartStore™ -storage box range was originally launched in the mid 90’s by Hammarplast. It remains tremendously successful today and Orthex Group is continuously developing the concept to meet the needs of the modern home - optimal storage equals peace of mind.
