ABOUT US
Innovation for tomorrow
Axjo is a Swedish polymer company, founded in 1945. At an early stage we identified the potential to use plastic for packaging purposes and today we are the leader in drums, spools and reels in smart plastics. Axjo has established long-term collaboration with a number of global companies that use our solutions in their production, solutions that not only improve cost efficiency but also a secure transition to a new era and new technology.
