In just a few years, AZ Design has achieved remarkable growth, tripling its revenue and solidifying its position as Sweden’s leading provider of restaurant equipment, furniture, and commercial kitchen solutions. With a vast e-commerce platform offering over 2 million products, AZ Design caters to both businesses and private consumers, setting new standards in the industry.

Founded in 2009 by CEO Andreas Zwahlen, AZ Design initially focused on furniture and interiors for public spaces, including restaurants, hotels, and offices. Over time, the company expanded its product range, integrating high-quality solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of businesses across the Nordic region. With an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, competitive pricing, and sustainability, AZ Design has emerged as a key player in the market.

Unprecedented Growth and Market Leadership

AZ Design’s impressive rise to the top can be attributed to a strategic blend of innovation, customer-centric policies, and a robust digital presence. The company’s 105% price guarantee ensures the most competitive pricing in the industry, further cementing customer trust. Additionally, AZ Design has received widespread recognition, earning the prestigious title of “Superföretag” by Veckans Affärer and Bisnode in both 2019 and 2020.

Throughout its expansion, AZ Design has maintained a strong commitment to sustainability. The company collaborates with environmentally conscious manufacturers and adheres to stringent quality standards, ensuring that its products not only meet customer expectations but also align with eco-friendly practices.
