“Arvid Nilsson AB supplies the widest range of fasteners on the market to the manufacturing, offshore, sub-sea and construction industries"

We are now focusing on taking the next big step, showing that we also offer breadth and quality as a supplier to the construction industry.” Says Annika Folkesson, CEO at Arvid Nilsson

Arvid Nilsson has long been a strong name when it comes to industrial fasteners. We are now focusing on achieving the same position within the retail industry. Serving an industrial customer is different to serving a retailer, and requires alternative strategies and a different focus. The company’s operations are therefore organised into two divisions: Retail and Industry.

We have in-depth experience within heavy industry, with its strict safety and quality requirements. Quality assurance and technical expertise are always our top priorities – in either division. This is what we want to show our retail customers within the construction sector. The name Arvid Nilsson shall be just as well-known within construction as it is within industry. Builder’s merchants can have confidence in us as a full-service supplier, offering breadth, quality and technical expertise. We will also focus with determination on marketing to our end-consumers.

Determination, quality and ambition: the hallmarks of everything we do at Arvid Nilsson

Today, we have companies in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and in autumn 2012 we moved our head office from Copenhagen to Kungälv in Sweden. Kungälv is also home to our large logistics centre, which offers flexible logistics solutions: everything from quick, straight-forward deliveries to project deliveries where our staff travel to the customer’s warehouse and deal with goods handling.

If our customers are carrying out major investments or construction projects, we adapt our delivery concept and packaging according to their needs. We can also offer custom-made products, such as traceable items, which have been demanded by industry for some time now.

In order to work with the customer to draw up a concept that meets the customer’s specific needs, we always work with a high degree of flexibility and continuous improvements. Here, our core values of Awareness, Trust, Ambition and Quality – ATAQ – are of great importance. These are more than just words for us – they are our culture, and the hallmarks of everything we do.

These core values also show our customers that they can rely on us to deliver what we promise, that we always strive to be ambitious and aware of their needs, and that quality always comes first.
