a long history and a bright future
Since our inception in 1918 we at Clas Ohlson have had the time to learn a great deal about what our customers want help with and, which everyday problems our products are meant to solve.
Whether you are searching through our product range online or filling your shopping basket in one of our stores, you can always feel safe that the products you purchase are tested, examined, and are value for money. And should anything go wrong with your purchase, remember that you can always return it within 30 days.
Sustainability is not only an idea involved in the manufacturing of our products, but is also involved in our packaging methods and goods transport, and is the basis behind all purchasing decisions having human or environmental impacts. Communicating this information to our customers also plays an important role since it allows them to make well informed purchases.
Once you are done shopping, feel free to learn more about our history, future plans, values and responsibilities. Who knows, you might even want to start your future career with us. Take a look under the "Join our Team" heading for more info.
