Beijer Byggmaterial originated in 1866 with the opening of Firma G Beijer in Malmö, Sweden. Since then, Beijer has evolved from a small business importing, amongst other things, chemicals, iron and metal to become a chain of builders’ merchants serving professional builders, contractors and small industrial enterprises as well as private consumers.
Since 2002 all stores in the Beijer chain have carried the name Beijer Byggmaterial.
The chain was acquired by DT Group in 1990 and is the largest nationwide player in Sweden, with stores from Boden in the north to Malmö in the south. DT was acquired by Wolseley in 2006.
