The Ekströms brand has a long history spanning more than a century and a half, and during this period Ekströms has launched many products that today are seen as true classics in Swedish households. The Ekströms brand has been part of Procordia Food AB since 1995, which changed its name to Orkla Foods Sverige AB in January 2014. The company Ekströms started in Örebro as early as 1848. But at that time the company did not sell food, but mustache wax, boot butter and ink for the entire penny.
