Ahlsell’s business is organised around a geographical perspective, as markets are ultimately local. Ahlsell has outlets in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Estonia and Russia.

All business is local business and Ahlsell’s organisation, with its many autonomous units is created to support that view. The organisation is characterised by few levels, clear responsibility, many stores and local offices with local managers who are close to their customers.

Proximity is a competition factor
Local proximity has been a competition factor for Ahlsell since the company was founded in 1877, and the wealth of local offices are a result of this. Local knowledge and proximity to the customer form the best conditions for understanding customers' needs and winning their trust. It is also the reason for our long and good customer relationships. The local offices create a strong base for the entire organisation and act as the motive force for the entire business. The Ahlsell Group’s organisation and resources support these units. Its continued expansion brings Ahlsell closer to more customers at new locations.

Ahlsell currently has more than 230 establishments in the countries in which it operates, over 85 of them are in Sweden. Altogether, they form the base for continued growth and profitability for Ahlsell.
