Swedish-made safety matches since 1868

With precision and dedication, our factories in Tidaholm and Vetlanda are the heart of our match production.

Swedish Match matches are 100% Swedish-made. For more than 100 years, our factories in Tidaholm and Vetlanda have been the global hub for match manufacturing. Over the years, both cities have evolved around their centrally located match factories.

Tidaholm

Tändsticksfabrik AB Vulcan was founded in Tidaholm in 1868. Since its inception, match manufacturing has continued in the same location. Tidaholm now hosts one of the most modern match factories in the world.

Vetlanda

Vetlanda tändsticksfabrik AB was founded in 1907. More than 100 years later, our matches are still manufactured in the same location. This is where all aspen from our timber suppliers is delivered and the process from log to splint commences. We also produce all of our labels and matchboxes in the Vetlanda factory.
