Our Story (Vår historia)

SwedishShield Insurance was founded in 2005 with a clear mission: to provide transparent, reliable, and affordable car insurance solutions for Swedish drivers. What began as a small operation in Stockholm has grown into one of Sweden's most trusted insurance providers, serving thousands of satisfied customers nationwide.

Our journey started when our founder, Erik Lindholm, recognized a gap in the market for car insurance that truly put customers first. After 15 years working for traditional insurance companies, he decided to create a different kind of insurance experience – one built on transparency, fair pricing, and exceptional service.

Today, with our headquarters in Stockholm and regional offices across Sweden, we continue to uphold these founding principles while embracing innovation to meet the changing needs of Swedish drivers.
