Own brands
Alligo has a broad portfolio of strong own brands in personal protection and clothing, tools, fasteners, and consumables. All the Group’s own brands are sold in Tools and Swedol stores, field sales and online.
Selling own brands provides better control over the supply chain and the properties and quality of products, as well as the opportunity for higher sales margins. They are particularly important within the Personal protective equipment and clothing product area, where own brands account for a large proportion of sales.
Own brands range from historic brands as Björnkläder with over 100 years of tradition to new brands as Gesto that have been built up from scratch in a relatively short space of time. Whatever their background, each brand performs a specific function, and they combine to create a differentiated offering.
Products for our own personal protection and clothing brands – Björnkläder, Univern, Gesto and 1832 – are developed and tested in Gothenburg.
In addition to own brands, Alligo also has private labels from Ampro and Nuair. Private labels perform an important function in the offering and can be used to develop the range with products manufactured by our suppliers based on specific needs identified by our product managers. Private labels are where Alligo has exclusive rights but does not own and develop the brands itself.
