Textiles – a family affair since 1887
With a passion for quality textiles, the Svensson brand is built on a legacy that began in 1887. After four generations as a family run company, we continue to develop and manufacture textiles with outstanding design and function.
Now more than ever, our unique experience and know-how is used to improve the natural habitat of both people and plants. This makes us who we are – and extremely proud. Welcome to Svensson.
Textiles for climate and environmental solutions
We specialize in textile climate solutions, designed with insights from the contract and horticultural markets, giving plants better conditions to grow and people better places to work, travel, meet, recover and study. By sharing knowledge and being close to our customers, we are a business partner to trust.
Climate screens for greenhouse cultivation
Svensson is the pioneer and world leader in climate control and energy efficiency through textile-based solutions. The business started in the 1970s with a vision to transform and improve conditions for the professional cultivation of vegetables and flowers in greenhouses. Svensson has since revolutionized the industry with a range of innovative solutions. Today, our functional climate screens control humidity, temperature, and UV radiation according to requirements, creating excellent conditions for better and greater production in greenhouses all over the world.
Interior textiles for public spaces
Svensson dresses public rooms with aesthetical and functional textiles giving the user a creative environment. Our range includes fabrics for curtains, upholstery and solar control with a strong element of Scandinavian design. Our textiles enable a creative environment by offering good light and sound control as well as energy saving with a wide palette of solids together with patterned coordinates.
Who we are
We are the fourth generation of the Ludvig Svensson family – a Swedish company led by siblings Anne and Anders Ludvigson. The passion for textiles that defines our organisation is one that embraces both design and function.
Sustainability
At Svensson, we believe in taking responsibility for our environment and our community since we have lived and worked in the same place for more than 130 years.
Certificates
Today, maintaining a high-quality product is a prerequisite to remain in business. This comes naturally for Svensson as we have always produced only the best textiles.
Smart Textiles
Svensson today exports climate screens to over 130 countries. Here two of the architects behind its success, Göran Henningsson and Cees den Boer, recall how it all began in the 1970s with a load of scrap and a brilliant idea.
Awards
Svensson has received a number of awards and distinctions over the years. Here are some of the honours that we're most proud of.

One hundred and twenty years before the textile company was deemed to be a barometer of the Swedish economy, our founder, Ludvig Svensson, was born.
Meet the Ludvigson's

The Svensson teamwork
Svensson has all the skills it needs in-house, from research and development to design and production. We quizzed four employees about smart collaboration across departmental boundaries, and what that means in practice.
Birth of the climate screen
Svensson today exports climate screens to over 130 countries. Here two of the architects behind its success, Göran Henningsson and Cees den Boer, recall how it all began in the 1970s with a load of scrap and a brilliant idea.
Where it all began
To this day the Svensson textile factory weaves its magic in a red-brick castle in Kinna in the west of Sweden. This is where its manufacturing operations and headquarters have been based since the turn of the last century.
