History
Polarbröd's business stretches back five generations. In 1878, Johan Nilsson came to Älvsbyn from
After Johan Nilsson's death in 1912, his son Frans Gustav took over the bakery, which was then heavily indebted. In 1926 a new bakery was built and Frans Gustav Nilsson introduced a variant of the local, thin soft cake, which he baked using
In 1977, a completely new bakery was inaugurated in Älvsbyn and the business continued to grow during the 1980s and 1990s. The company had passed on in the family and was run by her granddaughter, Karin Bodin.[2]
During the evening of 23 August 2020, a large fire broke out in the bakery in Älvsbyn.[3] The main factory could not be saved. Polarbröd's plan was then to maximize production in its second factory in Bredbyn and use this facility to bake all varieties that were previously only baked in Älvsbyn.[4] According to Polarbröd, a new factory will be built in Älvsbyn as soon as possible.[5]
