We create everyday happiness
Rybrinks is a Swedish, innovation-driven family business that combines function and experience in lifestyle concepts for hygiene, beauty and cleaning. Our brands, such as Gunry, Topz and Clean Touch, offer affordable and sustainable products that make everyday life a little more enjoyable. With our roots deeply anchored in the Swedish entrepreneurial spirit, we have developed into a leading player in the Nordic region. Our mission? To make the world a little better – one everyday routine at a time.
A family history of innovation
From a basement in Kungsbacka in 1983 to becoming a leading Nordic specialist today. Rybrinks was founded by Jan-Åke Rybrink with a vision of delivering quality products that make a difference in people’s lives. Under the leadership of his son, Johan Rybrink, we have continued to grow through three generations of entrepreneurship, innovation and passion.
Brands that make a difference
Our brands are at the heart of our business. Gunry offers affordable beauty and home care products. Topz is synonymous with quality cotton and beauty products. Clean Touch stands for effective and sustainable cleaning solutions. Together, we add a touch of luxury to everyday life for consumers throughout the Nordic region.
Responsibly created products
Sustainability is an integral part of everything we do at Rybrinks. We actively work to reduce our environmental impact through innovative solutions and responsible choices – from recycled materials and plastic reduction to gentle and efficient production processes. Our products are not only dermatologically tested and vegan-friendly, but also completely free from microplastics to protect both consumers and nature.
Our sustainability principles:
Certifications such as the EU Ecolabel, which guarantees products with high environmental standards.
Packaging made from 100% recycled plastic, for a circular economy.
Continuous improvements in both production and product development.
At Rybrinks, we strive to make sustainability accessible to everyone – without compromising on quality or function.
Our journey
We began our journey 40 years ago, when Jan-Åke Rybrink decided to strike out on his own after many years as purchasing manager at EPA. He decided to follow his dream and start his own company, Gunry in Kungsbacka, which is now called Rybrinks. Jan-Åke was driven by doing business that created great value for both suppliers and customers. His son, Johan Rybrink, has further developed this ambition. Today, Rybrinks is a Swedish innovation-driven family business that combines function and experience in carefully selected lifestyle concepts for hygiene, cosmetics and cleaning.
