Over the years the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that characterizes Mölnlycke has resulted in an R&D-department that is committed to bringing new, innovative products to the market.

This has in turn resulted in growth and improvements further reinforcing our offering to the market. Mölnlycke has grown strongly since it was acquired over the years. Successful acquisitions have also been made to complement the product offering.
