40 winters with you
From a proving ground in Arjeplog

To the home of winter testing

This season marks a milestone in the Colmis story.

We’re celebrating 40 years of progress, innovation, and partnerships – four decades shaped by countless winter mornings, ambitious ideas, and the trust of customers from all over the world.

But above all, we’re celebrating the people who brought Colmis to life: the teams who built it, the customers who believed in it, and the community that grew around it.

This page will gather all updates, activities, stories and special moments we’re creating throughout the anniversary season.

More to come – and we’re excited to share it with you.

#TogetherWeAreColmis

Towards the end of the winter season we are going to hold a celebration dinner with our team, customers and some key figures of the Colmis history.

Invitations will be sent out by December 12th.

You don’t get one? Unfortunately, capacity is limited, so please don’t be disappointed, as there will be many ways to celebrate this milestone together and we want everyone to be a part of it.

You have a special reason to be there?

We want to give everyone that really wants to attend an opportunity to do so and are therefore keeping 10 special spots reserved. Simply write to us at 40years@colmis.com and tell us why you don’t want to miss out.

The anniversary video

Be part of telling the Colmis story!

As Colmis turns 40, we want to celebrate the people who have made this journey possible: our customers, colleagues, and friends around the world.

We are putting together a special “walk down memory lane” video - and we would love for you to be part of it.

All you need to do is record a short selfie-style video and answer either or both of these two questions:

What message would you like to send to the Colmis staff (past or present)?

What is your best, funniest, or most special memory from Colmis?

Colmis: Our Story, Told by the Founders

Harald and Lars-Gunnar. Lars-Gunnar and Harald.

The two founders – now long retired – recently sat down together to look back on how Colmis began. 

The early days. The milestones. They talk about why it happened, how it happened, and what those first winters were really like. The decisions that shaped everything that followed. 

This short documentary, told entirely in their own words, will be premiered at the end of the winter.
