The Annual General Meeting in Clas Ohlson AB is the largest in Sweden. On Saturday 10 September some 1,400 people gathered at Clas Ohlson’s distribution center in Insjön, Sweden.

According to tradition Clas Ohlson held the Annual General Meeting at the distribution center in Insjön, Sweden. Before the meeting began, visitors also had the opportunity to visit an exhibition where selected new products were displayed and demonstrated.

After completion of the Annual General Meeting shareholders were served food and drinks and also treated the much appreciated gift bag with selected Clas Ohlson products. In total more than 4,000 cups of coffee and 1,700 almond pastries were served. For the lunch that was served to the participants of the Annual General Meeting, more than 300 kg salmon was used.
