Klädesholmen Seafood AB is a modern company based on generations of knowledge and experience. Klädesholmen is a well-known fishing village in the municipality of Tjörn, Bohuslän, Sweden, with a strong connection to herring that has been maintained generation after generation for hundreds of years. In 2002, the four remaining families involved in the business – Alax, Bråse, Klockbojen and PK – decided to merge into a joint venture called Klädesholmen Seafood, a unified brand that aims to preserve the Swedish herring tradition while growing stronger and expanding their market opportunities. The company is one of Sweden's leading producers of herring and caviar products.
