OUR HISTORY

DIFFERENT WAYS OF LIVING

SINCE 1969

In 1969, the childhood friends Ingemar Johanson and Lars Eliasson started the furniture wholesaler company Artwood.
They rented a barn in Härryda outside Gothenburg where it all began. Lars and Ingemar both had experience from the furniture trade and at that time they were mostly trading with Eastern Europe. The trade with Asia started in the late 1970s.
In 1976, newly built facilities were completed in Skene and that is where Artwood is located today. In 1981, Lars sold his share to Ingemar who continued to run it as a family company until he retired in 2001. The CEO post was handed over to Ingemar’s daughter Anna-Carin Bengtsson who bought out the other family members in 2017.
