Flinks was established by Gunnar Flink back in 1907, as a local ironmonger’s situated at Odengatan 44 in the Vasastan area of Stockholm.
In 1922 an employee named Viktor Brante took over the company, remaining its CEO until 1969 when his son Lars Brante succeeded him. Lars Brante modernised and developed the company in many ways.
In 1974 the business moved out to Hornsberg and became one of the first ironmonger’s in the country where customers could pick products off the shelves themselves. Previously the staff had stood behind a counter and fetched the products for the customers. Flinks now focuses solely on supplying companies, and its product range and service is geared precisely to the needs of professional tradespeople.
