DUNI**
ÄLVSBYHUS AB**
OPTIK SMARTEYES AB**
Duni is a leading supplier of attractive, functional products for table settings and take-away products. The Duni brand is marketed in over 40 markets and is the market leader in central and northern Europe. The group is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm.
The business concept of Älvsbyhus AB is to build pre-assembled wooden houses without basements on one or one-and a-half levels at the lowest price on the market. This entails the company being responsible for the entire construction process, from the foundations to a house that is ready to be moved into. The company does this by having its own personnel as well as a permanent team of contractors. Älvsbyhus has always had its own sawmill, which means that the company is pretty much self-sufficient. The company’s market consists of Sweden, Finland, and Norway, with around 40 agents in these three countries. Älvsbyhus is probably the largest single brand in Scandinavia, producing houses at a rate of just over 1,200 in 2010.
The Smarteyes chain of opticians first saw the light of day in April 2007 and is a true newcomer to the sector. The company’s objective is to become the H&M of the optician sector. It is an affiliated company of the Mellby Gård Group.
Its activities are divided into three business areas: Professional, Retail and Tissue. The Professional range offers first-class products for table-settings and service, such as serviettes, tablecloths and table mats. The customers come mainly from the hotel, restaurant and catering sectors. Through its Retail business area Duni offers products to consumers via supermarkets, specialist shops and furnishing stores. The range creates pleasant environments in which to enjoy food and drink. This includes everything from serviettes, candles and tablecloths to plastic products such as glasses, mugs, cutlery and plates. Duni’s Tissue business area consists of its subsidiary Rexcell Tissue & Airlaid AB. They produce soft paper that forms the basis for ’Duni’s production of table items. Half of the company’s production is sold to external customers, primarily for the manufacture of hygiene products. The production facilities are located in Skåpafors and Dals Långed in Dalsland.

Älvsbyhus is a family company that was founded in 1944 by Göran Johansson (grandfather of the present managing director, Kent Johansson) and his best friend, Gunnar Johansson. To start with, the business concentrated solely on joinery, but in 1960 it embarked on the house production in which it is still engaged today. Since the mid-1990s the company has been owned in equal parts via companies by the Johansson and Andersson families, i.e. by Mellby Gård in the case of the Andersson family.

The ambition of Smarteyes is always to have the lowest prices on the market without sacrificing quality and service. Its frames are designed in Sweden and constantly follow the changes and trends of fashion. Smarteyes’ target group is first and foremost fashion-conscious people and the focus is on stores with a modern layout which are also bright and pleasant to be in – here, too, it is a pioneer in the sector. The company has overturned the traditional way of thinking, where a low basic price is often quoted, with options that can be added by each customer, which often ultimately means that the glasses turn out to be very expensive. With Smarteyes the customer always knows in advance what he or she will be paying. Two price levels apply to the untinted glasses offered: one for single vision glasses and one for multifocal ones – irrespective of sight defects and the choice of frame. This low, fixed price also means that customers often choose to treat themselves to several frames.
