Hallins

What Hallins does

Hallins Group AB is a privately held Swedish stainless steel manufacturer, founded in 1920 and headquartered in Ödeshög, Sweden. The company designs, fabricates, and sells stainless steel equipment for commercial kitchens, healthcare food transport, and industrial applications, operating through three business areas: Industry (custom stainless steel manufacturing for pharmaceuticals and food processing, including coating pans), Lifting trolleys under the Newton brand (50–250 kg capacity with a proprietary Quick Change System (QCS) and 5-year warranty), and Commercial kitchens (trolleys, food transport systems, hot and cooling plates). Its product portfolio spans four sub-brands — Hallins, Newton, Temptainer, and Gastrotainer (the latter a 2026 launch focused on hospital kitchens) — plus resold Samsung commercial microwave ovens.

The underlying technology is conventional stainless steel sheet metal fabrication with proprietary mechanical features such as the Newton QCS quick-coupling system and insulated Temptainer/Gastrotainer trolleys using at least 40mm polyurethane foam for passive temperature control. Hallins holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and EG 1935/2004 food-contact certifications, and manufactures all products in-house at its Ödeshög facility. The company has approximately 80 employees and disclosed annual revenue of approximately 100 million SEK.

Hallins operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer go-to-market model. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers engage via the company website, contact forms, and quote requests. The company sells across four primary verticals — hospital kitchens and healthcare facilities, restaurants and commercial kitchens, industrial applications (pharmaceuticals and food processing), and public sector kitchens (schools, institutions) — with secondary distribution through a dedicated Hallins Outlet e-commerce storefront for discounted and overstock products. Marketing is concentrated on the company website with SEO-optimized Swedish and English content.
