About the Company

Our history dates back more than 135 years. The stories of Amanda Christensen and Wigéns began in 1885 and 1906 respectively. The long, genuine, and traditional history of both brands makes them two icons in Swedish men's fashion, where style and elegance have followed them through the centuries. Design and development take place at the headquarters in Ulricehamn. The majority of production occurs in our own factory in Pärnu, Estonia, but also in Italy, Spain, Portugal, China, and India. We control all purchases of fabrics and strategic materials to ensure good control and quality throughout the production chain.

We have a turnover of 100 million SEK. The company is in a continued exciting growth phase driven by our strong brands and high product quality. The group has over 60 employees, of which 20 are in Sweden. We have subsidiaries in Denmark and agents, distributors, and retailers in over 35 countries. Besides Scandinavia, the USA is our largest market. Exports account for 50%.
