inspire people to lead a fun, active and
healthy life. The Stadium stores are
owned by the Parent Company, Stadium

Swedish-based Byggmax was founded in
1993 and has expanded on the basis of
its business concept, which is to give its
customers building materials of the best
quality at the best price in Sweden and
to ensure that all the articles in its
assortment
are available in the stores.
All Byggmax stores, more than 30 throughout
Sweden, have drive-in facilities so that
customers can load their cars directly,
making it more convenient to buy building

We were also impressed by the picture of IFS we got when talking to reference customers in the retail trade.
