EMVE Sweden AB, the fourth-generation family company from Åstorp that makes intake, washing, grading and packing lines for potatoes, vegetables and fruit, traces its roots to 1916 and employs 53 people in Sweden. In Portugal it is registered as a permanent establishment, EMVE Sweden AB – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980771170), based in the Almeirim industrial zone in Santarém district and registered for machinery trade and the installation of industrial equipment.
EMVE’s Portuguese presence is a registered branch of the Swedish parent rather than a separate subsidiary: EMVE Sweden AB – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980771170) is filed as a representação permanente with its seat at Lote 27, Pavilhão 4 in the Zona Industrial de Almeirim, in the Lezíria do Tejo. Its registered object mirrors the parent’s — developing, manufacturing and selling machines and components mainly for handling vegetables and food — and its activity codes cover agency trade in industrial machinery (CAE 46140) and the installation of industrial machinery and equipment (CAE 33200), which points to sales and on-site installation work for Portuguese customers.
The parent in Åstorp, where the first workshop opened in 1916, designs, builds and services complete lines in-house: receiving hoppers, box turners and silos for intake; washers, destoners, polishers, dryers, optical sorters and belt or roller graders; and weighers, horizontal and vertical baggers for paper, plastic and net, case packers and palletisers. The Swedish company reported 53 employees and SEK 171.5m in revenue, with a SEK 5.8m profit, in its 2024 accounts, and is led by Caroline Andersson, the fourth generation of the founding family, who became CEO in 2016.
On 17 December 2025 EMVE announced that it had acquired CaseLink, which develops and builds custom packaging machines, in a deal completed in September 2025. CaseLink’s Peter Gullander and his team stay with the business, which was due to move into EMVE’s Åstorp premises during summer 2026.
The Tagus valley around Almeirim is one of Portugal’s main horticultural districts, and its vegetable and potato packers are exactly the buyers of washing, grading and bagging lines. A Swedish equipment maker choosing to register a permanent establishment in the middle of that cluster — rather than serving it from Skåne through agents alone — is a concrete example of Nordic food-tech engineering being sold and installed on the ground in Portugal, and the CaseLink deal widens the packing range it can offer local packhouses.
