Röda Lacket

Röda Lacket is a popular brand of Swedish snus (moist snuff), a pasteurized smokeless tobacco product.

When arriving at the town of Norrköping, he first introduced the Italian double-entry bookkeeping, then he started his own snus factory in 1753.

[3] Together with his brother, Olof Swartz,[4] they transformed the small business by implementing an efficient manufacturing process.

[7] In 1772, Petter Swartz founded a private school where students were taught both double-entry bookkeeping and carpentry – skills that were needed in the snus business.

The success of Röda Lacket, however, delayed the closing of the tobacco harvesting in Norrköping by several years.
