Algidus AB was founded at the beginning of this year by Christian Wijkström

SWEDEN: Carrier Commercial Refrigeration has signed a strategic distributor agreement in Sweden with newly-formed company Algidus AB company.

Based in Djursholm, neck Stockholm, Algidus AB was founded at the beginning of this year by Christian Wijkström, who boasts more than 20 years experience in food retailing in Sweden.
