140 years of trade
As early as 1884, Arvid Nordquist was founded with a clear ambition – to offer taste experiences of the highest quality. Our journey began in a delicatessen store on Östermalm in Stockholm with a strong passion for quality and personal service. Today, the family business is run by the third generation, but with the same basic values where quality and care go hand in hand.


Our Vision
We are the best partner – our customers feel inspired with us. We deliver strong brands with quality, service and value, with people and the environment in mind.
Four product areas
Our range includes coffee and tea, wine and beer, food and non-food products. Our product areas include both brands that we own and produce ourselves, such as our coffee and tea, as well as well-known international brands that we represent in the Nordic region.
Our Nordic sales and marketing organisation is present across all four Nordic countries. Our customers are in the grocery trade, including the alcohol monopoly, the restaurant sector, as well as the pharmacy, office, retail and discount trade. Our stakeholders also include the brand owners of the brands we represent.
We work together to offer the best taste experiences and products. Despite our size, we value the strength of the family business – a personal responsibility and the importance of every employee.


Eco-certified coffee roastery
All our coffee has been roasted with biogas since 2017, a renewable energy source that reduces emissions by 85-96% compared to LPG. The production is powered entirely by electricity from wind and hydropower. The roastery is environmentally certified in accordance with ISO 14001 and Bra Miljöval (Good Environmental Choice).
