Strengthening Sweden’s best known kitchen brand

Nobia is to merge two of its brands, Myresjökök and Marbodal, to form a combined
and powerful brand – Marbodal.
Marbodal is taking additional steps to consolidate its position as Sweden’s
leading kitchen company for both the consumer and project markets by adding
Myresjökök’s unique expertise in customised solutions for the project market.
“We are combining the best of both worlds. Myresjökök is the kitchen supplier
that has the best logistics and service offering for the project market.
Marbodal is the best known kitchen brand among Swedish consumers and has a
nationwide and continuously growing network of stores and retailers,” says Rune
Stephansen, President of Nobia Sweden Kitchens.
Under the joint brand, Marbodal will offer a broader range and new digital
investments that will simplify the purchasing process. In addition, further
efforts will be directed to nurturing customer relations and developing the
service offering and innovative kitchen solutions.
The conversion of Myresjökök will commence in the autumn of 2013 in close
collaboration with customers.
