To Lundhags, their heritage is essential and together with their values; authentic, nordic, sustainable and functional this creates a foundation to build a solid and strong brand. In all branding and communication, we want the Lundhags brand to come across homogeneously, and as a uniform brand.

We will create more valuable content, develop fruitful partnerships and telling stories to inspire and educate our customers. We believe we can make a positive impact on people’s lives through the outdoor products and experiences we create.
