Story about Lantmännen
Founded 120 years ago in 1905, when the Swedish Farmers’ National Association was established, this book tells the story of Lantmännen’s journey – from a grassroots cooperative movement to today’s global group with employees in some 20 countries and sales in more than 60. Today, Lantmännen is one of the largest food companies in the Nordic region.
The book combines well-crafted texts with a wealth of visual material, based on solid historical research and interviews with both former and current employees and members. It offers a vivid account of Lantmännen’s history and significance – an important part of the development of Swedish agriculture and business over time.
The design of the book is also something special. It is bound using the exclusive Swiss binding technique, which allows the book to lie completely flat when opened. The exposed spine highlights the craftsmanship, showcasing details such as the green thread, and adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness. Within bookbinding circles, this solution is considered both refined and sophisticated, combining function and aesthetics in an exceptional way.
