History

Alfapac was founded in 1969 by Mr. Anders Widarsson from Askersund. At the time, the plastics industry in Sweden was young and underdeveloped. The first mission was to provide a pallet cover.  Anders made this first prototype at home in his kitchen and heat sealed the edges of the pallet cover using a hot iron.

In 1979 Alfapac was acquired by J. Gunnar Olson, an entrepreneur who previously had run industrial enterprises both in Örebro and Stockholm. In connection with the acquisition, he sold his other businesses to focus entirely on Alfapac. The company is still owned by the Olson family.

An important milestone in Alfapacs development was the so-called silage bag. It was launched in the early 80s along with Lantmännen in Sweden. Today, there are similar products used worldwide.
