We are Rahmqvist
Ready to take the next step?Rahmqvist stands for expertise and specialization. We will never be a generalist company that caters to all your needs. Instead, we excel where we can make a substantial difference in your workplace.
Our story
It all started with the personal touch
It’s 1953. Eric och Signe Rahmqvist establish a small office supply company. The basic idea is that you must get to know the customer to really understand what needs they have and how to best help them.
Who we are
We are a Swedish brand with about 300 employees and available in 11 markets in Europe. We are represented via other distributors in Hong Kong, China, Poland, Lithuania, South Africa and Dubai.
Our philosophy
For more than 70 years we have visited millions of workplaces and helped our customer. We have grown since the start, but we stay true our philosophy: to give you the best solutions for your needs, we need to spend time with you at your workplace and fully understand your challenges. This way we help you in creating a more fun, more efficient and more sustainable workday.
Authenticity cannot be faked
No single solution can meet all your needs. With our work in the field, we customize unique solutions specifically for you. To get the most out of the solution, we will help you with installation and education. Rahmqvist is a family-owned company with independent brands, each with unique character and experience.
More than just a choice of materials
The key to sustainability is to get away from the wear and tear mentality that exists today. We created our first environmental policy already in 1983 and were first in Sweden to ISO-certify us for both environment ISO 14001 and quality ISO 9001. We have also signed the UN Global Compact, where we demand that all our suppliers comply with the UN's ten principles on human rights, labor law issues, the environment and anti-corruption.
Our environmental work in practice
We review all our products and exclude those who do not meet our high standards. We are continuously making our transports more efficient and environmentally friendly and avoid air freight. In addition, we climate-compensate our entire company car fleet. We make it easy for you to make sustainable choices with our own environmental label Rahmqvist Green Choice that we label our environmentally friendly products with. We also have a quality label to highlight exceptionally durable products for use over a long period of time and that are on the opposite end of the wear and tear products on the market.
"If we didn’t meet and talk to people on a daily basis at Sweden’s many workplaces, how would we be able to understand their needs and then create products that simplify their work?"
