‘It’s incredible that we have reached 25 years of successful operations,’ said Björn Stenwall, president & CEO of ALMACO Group. ‘Time flies when you are having fun and doing what you are passionate about. 

‘We are very grateful to our customers, partners, suppliers, contractors and employees for their trust and support over the years,’ he added.  

Founded in 1998, the company has grown from a small start-up to a global company with offices in nine countries. It offers newbuilding and modernization of all catering and accommodation areas, as well as full lifecycle support to owners and shipyards.

Facing challenges

‘Expertise, experience, stability and reliability are the core of our company’s continued success,’ continued Stenwall. ‘The Covid-19 pandemic and the market situation following that have shown how important it is to have a solid foundation and a long-term vision when facing unexpected challenges. We have always been aware of the importance of investing in our personnel and caring for their well-being. Our expert team is our greatest asset and the key to our success.’ 

‘Collaborating with the best’ 

Vilhelm Roberts, ALMACO Group’s co-owner and executive chairman of the board, said ALMACO is ‘honored to collaborate with the best in the industry.’ He explained, ‘One of our most recent achievements was a project delivery for Chantiers de l’Atlantique and MSC Cruises, for which Chantiers awarded us their esteemed Best Supplier Award for the laundry areas. We are very proud and honored to have received the award.’ 

Digitalization and sustainability

Looking ahead, ALMACO is developing digital solutions that enhance the efficiency, performance and safety of its products and services. It is also constantly developing new ways of helping its customers comply with both current and future environmental regulations. ‘Good quality and longevity of the equipment have a major impact on sustainability,’ noted Stenwall. ‘We design our products to last longer, consume less energy and reduce waste. We believe that sustainability is not only good for the planet, but also good for business.’
