Overlooking the river, our unique office building dates back to 1813. Originally, the building provided housing for the workers at an old porter brewery. We have been residents here since May 2008, when we left our former office in the city centre and moved to our present location in the Klippan area, which was the first port of Gothenburg, in ancient days defended by the medieval fortification Älvsborg castle towering above the harbor inlet.
The East India Company had its homeport at Klippan in the 18th century. Trading with China it was the largest trading company in Sweden and one of the most profitable of all times. In the beginning of the 18th Century industry found its way to Klippan when a porter brewery and a sugar refinery were established here.
EcoPar develops and markets ultra-clean fuels. The exhausts are virtually clean which substantially increase the health of users and surrounding environment. EcoPar is not classified as hazardous goods and is especially suitable for use in warehouses and close to water protection areas. Another big market is for emergency generators since the fuel is very stable and suitable for long term storage.
