The transfer of ownership took effect on October 5, 2026. In a communication, Wexthuset's former CEO, Lena Ljungquist, announces that the business will therefore continue under new management and that future orders will be placed via Impecta's e-commerce platform.
Leaving something you have built up over many years is a big decision. Therefore, it has been important to me that the business ends up in good hands, and I feel confident that it does now, says Lena Ljungquist in the message to customers.
She also describes the relationship with the new owner as good and emphasizes that the companies have common interests in the industry.
We know Impecta Fröhandel well and have had a good relationship with them for many years. They share our passion for cultivation and quality, she continues.
Customer base follows in the purchase
Wexthuset Sverige AB was declared bankrupt by Södertörn District Court on September 10. Since then, the bankruptcy estate, through bankruptcy administrator Pierre Pettersson at Cirio Advokatbyrå, has continued to operate the business with the aim of finding a buyer.
In connection with the transfer of ownership, the bankruptcy estate informs that Impecta Fröhandel will take over future communication. Customers who do not want their personal data transferred to the new owner have been given the opportunity to unsubscribe to have their information deleted.
From growth to liquidity problems
The change of ownership marks the end of a strained period for Wexthuset. The company experienced growth during the pandemic and reached a turnover of just over SEK 61 million in 2021. Thereafter, the market turned downwards as consumers' purchasing power decreased, leading to reduced sales of capital-intensive goods.
The company's annual report for 2025 showed a turnover of SEK 27.6 million and a negative result. Management tried to stabilize the economy through cost savings, halved rental costs and bridging finance from the owners. However, the measures proved insufficient to manage the working capital needs, and the company finally submitted its own bankruptcy application.
It's terribly difficult, said Lena Ljungquist in connection with the bankruptcy decision last month.
