Agenturföretagen / The Swedish Association of Agents: network for international business – established 1914

Agenturföretagen / The Swedish Association of Agents is a membership organization with the task of facilitating the international trade for small and medium-sized businesses. Our members are mainly agents, suppliers and distributors operating in many exciting fields. Through national and international networks, trade fairs, training, professional activities, lobbying, and membership services, we work to both on short and long term improve the everyday life and profitability of our members.

If you are about to start up your bisiness Agenturföretagen / The Swedish Association of Agents can because of its’ long experience help with both big and small issues. Companies included in our network have access to valuable business advice and attractive offers and discounts.

A very important goal for us is to reduce all trade barriers and thereby improve conditions for all operators of this type of activities in Sweden. Hence, we can be found where decisions are made and act as a reference authority when the government is enacting new laws affecting our members’ businesses. To take advantage of our members’ interests both in Europe and globally, we are since 1948 a part of The Nordic Federation of Commercial Agents and since 1953 a part of IUCAB (Internationally United Commercial Agents and Brookers). Our Chairman of the Board, Jan Björnum, is the Vice President of IUCAB and included in their board Excom. We are also active in the ICC, International Chamber of Commerce.

For our members, we create cost effective training courses and seminars in the areas needed. Every year we hand out a scholarship for the continuous training of member companies.

Today we are divided into network groups, both line of trade and districts – who conduct their own program. We organize trade fairs for the shoe and textile businesses; Nordic Shoe & Bag Fair, Preview Fabrics & Accessories, Nordic Fabric Fair, Purchasing Days in Stockholm and Varberg,

To us, each member is unique and important and has great ability to influence.
