WASA: The World of Knäckebröd

Since 1919, Wasa has been at the forefront as the world's largest producer of Scandinavian knäckebröd. From Scandinavia to the United States of America, their delicious products are sold in as many as 40 different countries. In 1999, Wasa became part of the Barilla Group, which also includes brands such as Mulino Bianco, Harry's, and Pavesi.

With bakeries in Filipstad, Sweden, and Celle, Germany, knäckebröd and other delicacies are baked from these two locations for a global audience.

Wasa's main markets outside of Sweden are the other Scandinavian countries and Germany, followed by Poland, the Netherlands, France, and the United States of America.

The Wasa brand originally started with a specific product called Vasaknäcke, featuring an image of King Gustavus Vasa. The company utilized a royal crown and the heraldic symbol of the Vasa dynasty, the robe (vaas), in their marketing. The use of the letter "W" instead of "V" is an archaism in Swedish that is sometimes seen in marketing but does not affect pronunciation.

Wasabröd produces a wide range of crispbreads. In addition to the original ryebread, they also offer variants with sesame, wheat, and other grains. Like matzo, Wasa is known for its long shelf life.

The company takes pride in its status as a purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden.
