The Solstickan brand was created in 1936; the iconic Solstickepojken motif was drawn by artist Einar Nerman and the Solstickefonden (Solstickan Foundation) was established to direct proceeds from product sales to support children and the elderly. The Solstickan name and imagery have been a Swedish household symbol since the 1930s. (int.swedishmatchindustries.com)

Manufacturing and production: Solstickan matches are produced under Swedish Match’s match operations (historically manufactured in Tidaholm, Sweden) and the brand accounts for the vast majority of matches sold in Sweden. While Solstickan household match production is primarily carried out in Sweden, Swedish Match operates production and brands globally and some match production for other brands occurs in multiple locations.

Ownership: Swedish Match (the long‑time manufacturer/brand operator) was acquired by Philip Morris International (PMI) in a public offer completed in 2022; as a result the Solstickan brand is operated within the group now owned by PMI. PMI is a global tobacco and nicotine-products company that has relocated major corporate offices to the United States (Stamford, Connecticut) while integrating Swedish Match’s operations into its broader product portfolio.
