Our story

The story of UNICO starts with the two Pärsson brothers Stefan and Thomas, who were born and raised in Gothenburg. Thomas Pärsson was an engineer from Chalmers in Gothenburg and moved to Munich in 1989 to pursue his dream of living and working abroad. He worked at the German company Systemconsult GMBH with CAD.

His older brother Stefan Pärsson stayed in Gothenburg Sweden and studied at Business School and began his career within the finance sector.

In 1989 Thomas quited his job at Systemconsult and the brothers started UNICO GMBH in Munich. Their main customers were BMW, Volkswagen and Jaguar but they proceed to work with many of the large car producers in Europe.

A few years later, in 1994 Stefan started UNICO Consulting AB in Gothenburg and becomes the CEO. The main customer at the start is Volvo and the first office is in the harbour in Fiskebäck, but later on they move their office to the centre of Gothenburg​​​​​​​
