More than 70 years in the plastics industry

Plastic – a fantastic material

The properties of plastic, lightness, flexibility and cost-effectiveness make plastics suitable for manufacturing of high-tech products as well as everyday goods. During the 1930s and 40s, the first generation of plastics emerged: ethylene plastic, styrene plastic, PVC, acrylic plastic, amide plastic and nylon plastic. Nylon socks became in vogue and the bakelite phone adorns its place in peoples’ homes.

Our forerunner

By 1945, plastic had become a very important material in industrial applications and in everyday life. In Sweden, Perstorp was the leading producer of plastics at the end of World War Two. In 1948 two employees at Perstorp decided to create something new. They founded AB Carlsson & Möller in the town of Bjärum, southern Sweden.

Move to Helsingborg

With business growing steadily, C&M moved to Helsingborg in 1976. The company was now a wholesaler for both thermoset plastic and thermoplastic and had opened a small workshop.

Expansion with new agent assignments

1983 was a milestone for the company with C&M becoming g the agent in Sweden for Polypenco. C&M gained access to new materials with strong brands such as Nylatron, Fluorosint, Torlon and new technologies for casting and sintering.

Joining Indutrade

With demand rising, C&M joined the Indutrade Group. This enabled the company to provide even better systems and construction solutions along with broader technical competence and improved know how in logistics and purchasing. C&M became a technology consultant, which placed stricter demands on service, installation and processing.

New building

In 1986 the company moved in to newly built premises in Helsingborg. Investments have been made regularly in new machinery to strengthen the company’s position as the leading supplier of components made from polymer materials.

System for improved service, and a new face

At the start of the 2000s the company’s delivery capacity and quality systems were improved and a new IT and business system was introduced. This further boosted our ability to make reliable deliveries and offer the best service.

C&M celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2008. We are proud to be one of Sweden’s oldest and leading companies within construction plastic, and we remain proud of our products, services and skills.

Our collected strengths make us a great partner.
