The story behind iCell

Vision and innovation

iCell was founded on June 9, 2009 by the entrepreneurs Roger Gudmundsäter and Mikael Månsson. With a small team of efficient and skilled employees, the entire project went from idea to finished plant in only 2 ½ years. Since the start of the project, we have created the world’s largest, most modern, and automated production plant for cellulose insulation made from recycled paper.

Development of the iCell Skiva

During the company’s first year of operations, we received repeated inquiries about our ability to produce cellulose insulation in a board format. At the end of 2013, the Board decided to take on the challenge by expanding the operations and production of environmentally friendly insulation boards for heat, cold and soundproofing of the future. After several years of intense development and factory construction, the first iCell Skiva was delivered in early September 2015.
