Rudholm Group Celebrates 35 Years of Growth and Innovation Since Acquisition by Wollin
Celebrating 35 Years of Excellence: The Rudholm Group's Journey with Jonas Wollin
On September 12, 2025, Rudholm Group, renowned for its innovative solutions in apparel branding and packaging, commemorated a significant milestone: 35 years since Jonas Wollin’s visionary acquisition in 1990. What initially began as a modest endeavor focused on sewing threads and buttons has evolved into a global powerhouse that champions sustainable solutions for the fashion industry.
This anniversary is not just a marker of time but a celebration of a journey defined by strategic vision and unwavering commitment. Jonas Wollin, a figure whose leadership transformed Rudholm Group, has been instrumental in establishing it as an authoritative entity in the apparel landscape, setting trends that resonate globally.
To commemorate this historic occasion, Rudholm Group invited its global country and sales managers for a week-long summit filled with inspiring discussions and jubilant celebrations of shared success. A noteworthy highlight was the unveiling of a unique micro-sculpture by Dr. Willard Wigan MBE, a world-renowned microscopic artist famous for crafting astonishingly tiny sculptures. Wigan's piece—a striking portrayal of Jonas Wollin positioned within a needle hole, with a thread weaving through a button—serves as a poignant homage to Wollin's remarkable contributions to the apparel industry.
Dr. Willard Wigan’s work is celebrated not just for its artistic merit but also for the extraordinary precision involved in its creation. Using tools as delicately fine as human eyelashes, Wigan constructs each piece under a microscope, embodying a commitment to excellence that parallels Rudholm's own. His clients have included the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, making his art a symbol of meticulous craftsmanship and sophistication.
In 2024, Jonas Wollin passed on his mantle of leadership to Dennis Lau, who had previously spearheaded the company's operations in the U.S. since 2016, helping to further globalize Rudholm Group's reach. Lau stepped in as CEO and equity holder, while Wollin remains actively engaged in his role as Chairman, steering the company into its next exciting chapter.
Rudholm Group has established itself as a leading global manufacturer specializing in labelling, packaging, trims, and digital solutions tailored for the apparel sector. With facilities and production hubs across Europe, Asia, and the United States, the company plays a pivotal role in supporting premier fashion brands in their efforts to create innovative, sustainable, and locally sourced branding components that comply with contemporary environmental and regulatory standards.
Reflecting on the significant achievements over the last three and a half decades, it’s clear that Rudholm Group has not only witnessed change but has actively driven it; setting benchmarks in sustainable practices while adapting to an evolving industry landscape. The combination of Wollin's visionary leadership and Lau's dynamic approaches positions Rudholm Group favorably for future challenges and opportunities.
As the company looks forward to the future, it remains committed to upholding its core values—innovation, sustainability, and quality—ensuring it continues to revolutionize the apparel industry for years to come. The legacy of Jonas Wollin and the craftsmanship reflected in Dr. Wigan's art serve as powerful reminders of the transformational journey that Rudholm Group has embarked upon and the exciting pathway ahead.
