A growth journey in the name of sustainability.
Ever since our inception in 2003, our goal at IMEX has been for the business to grow and develop in an efficient and sustainable manner.
But with quality- and environmentally assured manufacturing and our own newly built premises easily accessible along the E6, IMEX is today one of the leading suppliers on the market for flooring products in terms of underlay, protection, acoustics and textiles.
Thanks to a well-organized supply chain, we can deliver products daily around Sweden, to the rest of the Nordic region and parts of Europe.
Below we have put together a simpler timeline of events that in one way or another have meant something to the development of the IMEX brand.
2003
March.
A new business sees the light of day.
In 2003, the then 31-year-old Anthony Fishwick moved to Sweden. That same year, he started IMEX together with a colleague in a 15m² shed.
From there, IMEX's corporate history began, initially selling underlay foam.
2005
May.
The business is growing.
After a few years of long working days in true entrepreneurial spirit, the business is starting to take shape and IMEX is slowly but surely growing.
Now a new step is being taken and a new office with warehouse is being built in Kungälv along the E6.
2008
Sept.
New products are added to the range.
IMEX is ready to develop its product range and is now focusing on the acoustic products category.
Examples of this are impact sound mats, sound-absorbing and acoustic panels.
2015
May.
IMEX joins Business Region Gothenburg's growth program
För att stärka företagets affärsmannaskap och varumärkesstrategi, ingår IMEX samarbetsavtal med Business Region Göteborgs tillväxtprogram.
Ett program med syfte att förbättra och stärka företagets affärsmodell i alla dess delar.
2018
Oct.
Large volumes are achieved.
What started with a 20-foot container filled with Cling Film in 2013, led to Imex delivering more than 5 million square meters of Cling Film in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic region 5 years later.
It is noteworthy that this "IMEX record" was achieved with very few problems and complaints.
2019
Feb.
Further digitalization to strengthen logistics and customer service.
To further strengthen customer service, the company is now investing in implementing Monitor's ERP system.
This, together with training on the system, is expected to result in faster order processing, smarter logistics and a number of preparatory factors for IMEX growth.
2020
Nov.
Unique and smart dust protection solution for the construction industry.
IMEX launched a dust protection system from the American company ZipWall. A well-proven and very popular system that is used all over the world.
Examples where ZipWall makes a difference are kitchen & bathroom renovations, window & door replacements or remodeling & additions.
2021
Feb.
IMEX becomes part of the group.
Fishwick Capital Management is purchasing 100% of IMEX's share capital, in accordance with a previously made decision.
This is a step in the company's growth plans that further strengthens the business and ultimately benefits IMEX customers.
2022
Aug.
Now the moving load is going to Fjärås.
As planned, we are now moving the business to Fjärås and our completely newly built premises and a location along the E6 that further facilitates and improves the business's logistics and customer service.
These new premises and the generous plot of land are also a future factor that helps us secure future growth.
2024
May.
IMEX continues its digital journey.
As a natural part of the business's growth plans, extensive work will begin in the spring of 2024 to replace the website platform and streamline the product database.
The goal is to become a good example in the industry and to give our customers the best experience possible. The new website should signal in every possible way that IMEX is a company in constant development with a strong focus on customer care and sustainability.
2024
Aug.
Circular economy and sustainability.
With a circular economy, economic growth does not have to come at the expense of the earth's resources.
Since 2012, the circular economy has been our focus at IMEX and we are doing everything we can to reduce our climate impact, slow down global warming and save the earth's resources.
In this short film you can hear what our CEO Anthony has to say about this.
2024
