The company was founded in 1983 and has its head office, showroom and warehouse in Borås. Lars Bonander, CEO of PR Home and Svanefors will remain in his current role after the acquisition.

“As a natural step in our continued development in the interior area, we see Storskogen as an attractive and knowledgeable partner where we together move forward on our developing and inspiring journey. It will be stimulating and engaging to get a new partner who can contribute with wisdom, contacts, drive and forward-thinking”, says Lars Bonander, CEO of PR Home and Svanefors.
