Ahlgrens was a Swedish confectionery company. It was founded by Fredrik Ahlgren in the town of Gävle in 1885 as a store for paint and wallpaper, a business which was later extended to the production and sale of various types of chemicals, perfumes and other products. A mouthwash, introduced in 1908, was given the brandname Läkerol, a year later given to a pastille, which is still sold internationally in several variants.

| - Ahlgrens was a Swedish confectionery company. It was founded by Fredrik Ahlgren in the town of Gävle in 1885 as a store for paint and wallpaper, a business which was later extended to the production and sale of various types of chemicals, perfumes and other products. A mouthwash, introduced in 1908, was given the brandname Läkerol, a year later given to a pastille, which is still sold internationally in several variants. The company was in 1993 later bought by the Finnish company Huhtamäki which quickly terminated the brand Ahlgrens and rebranded all its products to Leaf except for Ahlgrens bilar. The product still most closely associated with the brand is 'Ahlgrens bilar' ("Ahlgren's Cars"), sold since 1953 and marketed as "the world's most sold car" (which is possibly technically correct, by number of cars). The small marshmallow cars are so popular within Sweden that stores that specifically cater to Swedish tourists and residents in other countries have started selling them as well. The brand has been extended to other car- and road-related products, liquorice car tyres, travel trailers and sour road signs, the latter including the elk warning signs beloved by German tourists.

- F. Ahlgrens Tekniska Fabrik AB etablerades i Gävle 1885 av Fredrik Ahlgren och var ett familjeföretag som bl.a. producerade parfymer, medikamenter, olika sko- och metallputsmedel och ett prisbelönt skrivbläck. Adolf Ahlgren började som handelsresande för broderns fabrik, innan han 1916 grundade dotterbolaget AB Pastill för tillverkning av konfektyr. 1933 slogs de båda bolagen samman till F. Ahlgrens Tekniska Fabrik AB. Redan 1909 hade man dock börjat framställa pastiller, Läkerol. Ahlgrens var familjeföretag fram till 1985 då det såldes av Sture, Robert, Olle och Björn Ahlgren till Procordia. Procordia sålde 1993 Ahlgrens till det finska konglomeratet Huhtamäki som omedelbart avvecklade varumärket Ahlgrens till förmån för varumärket Leaf som användes för allt från godis till plastmuggar. 1999 såldes Leaf vidare till den nederländska livsmedelskoncernen . 2011 köptes Leaf av Cloetta som beslöt att stänga fabriken i Gävle 2014. Ahlgrens är mest känd för Ahlgrens bilar och Läkerol. Bland övriga Ahlgrens-produkter, som numera bär Malacos varumärke, kan nämnas Pim Pim, Zoo, Fruxo, Zig Zag och Brio. De två sistnämnda tillverkades ursprungligen av den lokala konkurrenten Pix (ursprungligen Ericson & Rabenius) som förvärvades av Ahlgrens 1975. (sv)
