Gotlandsägg + Smålandsägg
One company in two locations. Our main egg packing facility is in Ruda, Småland, as it is close to many of our producers and clients. Our second facility is situated in Stenkyrka, Gotland, where we also have our head office, finance and administration departments.
Supplying private label since 2000
Our largest volume of eggs is delivered to market leading food store chains, packaged as their own private label. In order to qualify as a private label supplier, the company is required to be at the forefront of consumer insight and product development and act as a strategic partner of the retailer.

Our Egg Packing Plants
The two egg packing plants in Småland and Gotland are the heart of our business. From here eggs are delivered to large parts of Sweden as well as to our neighbouring countries. Hundreds of millions of eggs leave these facilities every year. It is a finely tuned process showing great care and consideration for engineering and logistics.
The eggs are quality checked and sorted into grades of weight. Then they are packaged in the right carton with the correct label. Always locally sourced eggs in local packaging.
In our Gotland facility we can sort 28 500 eggs every hour. In Ruda, Småland, we can handle even more eggs – 120 000 eggs per hour.
