Almedahls has opened a fresh chapter in a story which began in 1846. The company is embarking on a journey with a product programme where technique, function and intangible value take centre stage. This is combined with a sales approach with more transparency, method and action.

Almedahls is active in three business areas: solar shading products, interior textile decoration of public spaces, and home interior decoration products and accessories. More than 90% of sales are generated by customers outside Sweden from all corners of the world.

Originally founded in 1846 in Sweden, the brand is highly acknowledged in the textile industry and early became associated with unique design and constant innovation. In recent years, the brand has also become known for an environmental awareness which is second to none, in an industry often linked with use of chemicals and unsustainable consumption of water.

Almedahls offers a comprehensive range of solar shading products, besides a large portfolio of curtains, rugs, and home interior decoration articles. All marketed under the Almedahls brand name which is to be seen as always in motion, filled with function and Nordic.

The International Account Manager will be in a key position to contribute to, and learn from this journey, and is expected to actively play a role in the continued transformation of the company.
