Polykemi was founded in 1968 by Hugo Jönsson, who later passed ownership on to his children and subsequently his grandchildren. As a family-owned company, we value our independence, flexibility and the ability to provide a personal touch.

From small beginnings in Ystad in southern Sweden, Polykemi has grown year by year, to become a group of ten companies today. The head office with all of its overall functions is still located in Ystad, where it all began.

The journey to the present day involved many challenges and successes, always handled by committed employees and their unconventional ideas.

Our management team

Polykemi’s management team is composed of people with extensive knowledge and experience in our line of business. They engage with our objectives as a company and as an employer. Their principal function is to make sure we advance in accordance with our long-term strategy.
