I am happy you liked the suggestion.
When I travelled all the way from Trelleborg to our house in Värmland, I kept my eyes a bit open to find some other companies, that could be added. After some more research this evening, I will give you some more suggestions. So, here they are:
1. Thule Rental (
http://www.thulerental.se): The company is part of the Brenderup Group, that is one of the leading companies in Scandinavia concerning the production of trailers. Thule Rental itself is a rental service, where you can rent trailers of different sizes for every possible "private, semi-professional and professional use". They have about 400 employees and three different manufacturing facilites. With a yearly turnover of more than 600 million SEK (more than 60 million €) and sales offices in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France and Poland, they really seem to be a big company in Europe. I got all those pieces of information from their webpage which is only available in the three Scandinavian languages, so it would be great if a native speaker of one of these languages could recheck those pieces of information, because my Swedish is only on a basic level.
I would replace BHV with Thule Rental. Could fit nicely. And they would make nice trailers with their slogan "Hyr här - lämna där" ("Rent here - leave there"). I like this slogan
2. ICA: As already proposed, Norrfood should be best replaced by ICA. ICA is the most omnipresent supermarket all over Sweden. Whenever you see a supermarket along the E6/E20, it is an ICA.
3. Boliden AB (
http://www.boliden.com): Boliden AB seems one of the biggest companies in mining industry in Sweden, so it could replace MS Stein or Nordic Stenbrott. Zinc-, copper-, lead-, gold- and silver-bearing ores are mined in Boliden's four mining areas. Boliden has a total of approximately 4,900 employees and an annual turnover of approximately SEK 37 billion.
4. LKAB (
http://www.lkab.com): They are the owner of the mines around Kiruna, if I am informed correctly. They are world-leading in the processing of iron ore products and they are growing as a supplier of mineral products. They are a global player in iron ore production and selling. They sell their products all over the world.
5. MAERSK (
http://www.maersk.com): I am pretty sure, you already have considered to add MAERSK to the game, but I somehow missed that. Nevertheless, they are one of the best known and also (of course) biggest companies in transportation. So, they definitely are a must to add.
6. Bring (
http://www.bring.se): They are perfect to replace one of the transport / warehousing companies. They got a new big warehouse somewhere between Malmö and Falkenberg (unfortunately, I can't remember where exactly. Maybe some Swedish guy can help me out). Seems like they are also a big company at least in Sweden.
If you plan to add completely new companies, I would suggest to add Skanska, Fortum and SKF, all big companies in Sweden.
I don't know, if you already have some of them as replacement, but maybe, those suggestions are useful as well. Have a nice evening.
