Our history
Mälarplast originated with Aktiebolaget Pollobak, which was set up in Eskilstuna, Sweden, at the beginning of the 1970s. Some of our customers have been with us for most of our journey that began with the new start-up.
1986 In 1986, the assets of Pollobak were acquired by Bengt Wall in the newly formed company AB Mälarplast.
1988 Täljeplast was acquired and was quickly assimilated in the business.
2004 Bengt Wall handed over the CEO position to his son Peter Wall. Mälarplast and August Lundh was incorporated into the Wallent Group.
2005 Mälarplast bought Weta-Plast’s injection molding department. The assets of H. Gells Plast were also acquired the same year.
2009 The last of more than 500,000 whistling kettles was manufactured and since then, the company has focused wholeheartedly on providing Sweden’s commercial kitchens with high-quality plastic tableware.
2014 PolymerDon was acquired and the company group expanded to 22 employees with a turnover of SEK 40 million.
2017 Mälarplast was awarded a breakthrough order from Coop to produce bioplastic candy dispensers. In the same year, Eskilstuna Municipally and the local plastics industry began experimenting with recycling plastics.
Made by Eskilstuna was founded.
