Spendrups Bryggeri AB was founded in 1897. Today, the Spendrups family brewery is the largest Swedish-owned brewery in Sweden. We unite strong traditions with innovation. The brewery currently has approximately 1,200 employees and has sales totaling SEK 2,100 M. The real Spendrup family with Jens Spendrup as CEO, Ulf Spendrup as vice CEO and chief brew master Johan Spendrup among others, is today very active in the company. Spendrups Brewery has a proud brewing tradition. Today, the fourth generation of Spendrups works at the brewery and many employees have worked with us for decades. Together, we deliver beverages to suit all occasions – beer, cider, soft drinks, water, wine and spirits. We have strong brands, such as Spendrups, Norrlands Guld, Mariestads, Heineken and Loka. Our breweries: Grängesberg It all began in Dalarna County, where Grängesberg Brewery was established in 1897. In 1923, Louis Spendrup, grandfather of Jens and Ulf Spendrup, acquired the brewery for SEK 65,000. At the time, the brewery produced 700 bottles of beer per day. Today, we brew a total of 120,000,000 liters of beer annually in our three breweries. The brewery in Grängesberg accounts for the largest proportion of production, closely followed by Vårby Brewery. In 1982, Grängesbergs Bryggeri AB changed its name to Spendrups Bryggeri AB and, in 1997, the brewery celebrated its centenary.

Since much of the beer produced in Grängesberg was transported through the forests of Dalarna County to Stockholm, the company searched for a facility close to the capital city. Accordingly, Spendrups Brewery acquired Wårby Bryggeri from Kooperativa Förbundet (KF). In 2004, the family chose to relocate the head office closer to the operation. A new office was constructed adjacent to the brewery, which is still in use today. Spendrups Bryggeri AB (Head Office) P.O.
