Car scrap

Main building

It's been a long journey for us to arrive at today's quality- and environment certified car scrap and car parts stock. The journey started in 1932, when Adolf Eklund started a scrap business, which was named the Eklund's scrap business. Back in 1948 his son Simon Eklund started the car dismantling business. In 1966 his son Örjan Eklund started working in the family business. Yet another son, Dan Eklund, could not stay away, so he joined eight years later. The haulage started in 1976 and two years later, S. Eklunds car parts stock became a joint-stock company.

Major environmental initiatives were made in the plant in 1994. At this stage, we were 5 employees and the major expansion of warehouses and workshops started. Four years later we computerized the business and at that time we had a stock of 10.000 used car parts.

In 2006, the car part stock had grown to include 70.000 parts on a surface of 3500 sqm. We were now 18 employees, had a workshop area of 1000 sqm and a self-picking area of 2000 sqm. A year later, we extended the engine warehouse with 1000 sqm. At this time, we had 85.000 used car parts. In recent years we have dismantled approximately 1,000 cars per year. We have mostly worked with insurance damage. We have agreements with most insurance companies.

Car recycling with quality

Today, Eklunds car parts stock recieves all kinds of cars for environmental-friendly recycling. We are quality- and environment certified according to SBR´s certifying system.

… but we are not content with just that! We are constantly working on improvements to our environment- and quality work in the area of car dismantling and recycling so that you can find reliable car parts for good prices.
