Höganäs ceramics
Höganäs Keramik AB is a Swedish company that makes kitchenware from ceramics and earthenware . The company is located in Höganäs in the south of Sweden .
The company was founded in 1909 by Karl Andersson and Sigfrid Johansson, under the name Andersson & Johansson . In the beginning the production of ceramic objects was still modest, but already in 1914 they took part in the “Baltic Exhibition” ( Baltiska utställningen ) in Malmö . During the 1920s the factory was expanded and ten years later the first own collections were launched. Various refractory goods were made with the typical red-brown glaze.
In 1948 the company was converted into a stock corporation and the range of pots, bowls and molds was expanded. The series Old Höganäs was presented at the 1955 Helsingborg exhibition . Now one also changed the production from purely handcraft to industrial.
In the 1990s, Höganäs Keramik was acquired by BodaNova . Since the beginning of 2002 Höganäs Keramik AB has belonged to the Finnish Iittala in Iittala , which in turn was taken over by Fiskars in 2008 , together with Arabia , Hackman and Rörstrand .
A classic became the so-called Höganäskrus (Höganäskrug), which is still produced today in many different sizes and which is symbolically depicted in the company logo.
