Polyver Sweden

What Polyver Sweden does

Polyver Sweden is a privately held Swedish footwear company headquartered in Pilgrimstad that designs, manufactures, and sells premium waterproof winter boots under the Polyver of Sweden brand. The company's product platform is built on CLI-Tech®, a proprietary polyurethane compound featuring a micro-cellular structure with millions of encapsulated air bubbles that the company developed over more than 15 years with leading global suppliers. The compound is moulded in seamless construction and provides full waterproof protection, thermal insulation rated to -40°C, shock absorption, and flexibility at low temperatures; complementary components include LYCRA collars, Ortholite® insoles, 3D-FOAM linings, and a Scandic Rubber outsole.

The commercial offer spans four collections — 365 (all-season), Work (safety/professional), Snow (extreme-cold), and Kids — with key SKUs including the Classic 365 Mid and the SL25 Chelsea Boot family priced between 1,600 SEK and 2,400 SEK per pair. Manufacturing of classic, safety, and kids boots takes place in Pilgrimstad, Sweden, while the SL25 line is manufactured in the EU.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer e-commerce at polyversweden.com, supported by localized checkout in five currencies (EUR, DKK, NOK, SEK, GBP), three languages (English, Swedish, French), and eleven payment methods (Klarna, iDEAL Wero, Bancontact, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major card networks). Distribution covers 22 European countries, with logistics handled by DHL Freight. A separate B2B portal (polyver.gung.io) serves professional and enterprise buyers. The company employs 11–50 people and is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors.
