A story of dedication and customer focus

Our proud history dates back to 1879, when Carl August Wedholm started up Wedholms Mejerikärlsfabrik in Nyköping, Sweden. This dedicated entrepreneur decided to focus on one purpose only, and to do it really well – to supply high-quality storage vessels for storing milk in a healthy way. The first products were milk cans, which Carl August Wedholm constantly developed. He even applied for, and was granted, a US patent of a tin milk tank in 1894. By 1948 Wedholms was continuously developing and moved to new, modern production facilities in Nyköping.

Throughout the years, we have always evolved in line with product development and in close cooperation with our customers. During the period from 1942 to 1988, Wedholms was owned by the Swedish Dairy Association, which was in turn owned by the Association of Swedish Farmers. A major step in the history of Wedholms was taken in 1957, when the era of milk cooling tank development and production was initiated. Still with the same, clear focus: to provide healthy, sustainable milk cooling solutions. The size of our first milk cooling tanks with direct evaporation was 200, 400 and 600 litres and they were sold to dairy farms in the Södertörn region south of Stockholm. Today, more than half a century later, Wedholms still is the market leading provider of milk cooling solutions in Scandinavia. We also are a leading operator in the milk cooling business worldwide, delivering tanks to more than 40 countries all over the world.
