Monday 26. January 2009 - Since 1921 Molander & Son AB has established a position as one of the market leading companies within imaging technology in Scandinavia. Recently, the company has been running as two separate businesses: Molanders FotoGrafiska, focused on professional photography and archive systems and Molander Sign & Display, focused on equipment and supplies for large format printing.
