Over the years, the Kinde family has made significant contributions to the economic development of Gothenburg and beyond, through their entrepreneurial spirit and leadership in their respective industries.

A brief history of the family

The Kinde family has a rich history that is intertwined with several branches of prominent families in Gothenburg, Sweden. Through marriages with families such as Malm, Carlström, Calvert, Kjerulf, Wennerberg, Hall, Boye, Ewert, Leffler, Lundgren, Bauck, Damm, Oterdahl, von Sydow, Olbers, Waern, and others, the Kinde family is related to most of the older families in Gothenburg.

AB Jakobsdals Kamgarnspinneri, along with AB Werner & Carlström and its subsidiaries, which together controlled almost 100% of the Swedish woolen yarn market for many years and was instrumental in establishing the modern wool industry in Sweden.

The Kinde family arrived in Gothenburg in the 1860s with Johannes Oscar Jacobson Kinde, who was born in 1848 and died in 1933. He descended from a family of priests and sextons in Gällstad Parish, Kinds Härad in Västergötland, which had German origins.
