Svenskt Tenn was founded in 1924 by Estrid Ericson, in 1975 she sold it to the Kjell and Märtha Beijer Foundation chaired by Anders Wall. Today the profit from Svenskt Tenn, via the Beijer foundation, provides important core funding for the Beijer Institute at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
