Dinbox is the Sweden's largest supplier of mailboxes. Its products portfolio also includes other metal products like lockers, benches and cloakroom furnishings. In 2018, the company decided to move back its production activities from China to its new plant outside Stockholm. The decision to relocate was taken after purchasing an automated machine that produces up to 10 time more than any other one in the past.
