    About Us & Our History

    Icebound AB is a new and innovative company with 30 years of experience in developing GIS-based products and business solutions for our customers throughout Europe, with a focus on Sweden.

    About Us

    Our primary goal is to offer market-leading products that digitize primarily the Swedish and international basic industries. Our largest customer segment today is the forestry industry, where we have a number of leading products that are experiencing strong growth.

    Our specialty is our in-depth expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and digital mapping. We are a technically focused team, with the majority of our staff consisting of developers and system design specialists. But we are also proud of our other team, which includes consultants, industry experts, evangelists, sales representatives, and other professionals in various roles.

We are a group of energetic people who are passionate about creating efficiency and sustainability for our customers and the world around us.
