Our history
We were founded back in 1959 and started off with just one car park: the Hötorget parking garage in central Stockholm. Since then we have become the Nordic region's leading parking company with facilities in Sweden, Finland and Norway.
How it all started
During the 60s Hötorget parking garage in central Stockholm shared the facilities with a number of sea lions. Yes, sea lions. Brought in by an eccentric entrepreneur and occupying the 100th section, the former circus animals is the origin of the myth that you could actually bump into one of them while parking your car. We still have Hötorget garage as part of our portfolio, but it´s guaranteed to be sea lion free.
From Q-Park to Aimo park
Nowadays Aimo Park is owned by the Japanese company Sumitomo who has a century-long history of successful, long term investments and collaborations. In 2019 they acquired all of Q-Parks operations in Sweden, becoming the leading parking company in the Nordics.
Aimo park in Norway
Aimo Park offers everything from individual parking services to turn-key solutions for entire parking facilities. With around 300,000 parking spaces spread across 1,600 parking facilities, we continue to be the leading parking company in Norway. Aimo Park offers everything from individual parking services to turn-key solutions for entire parking facilities. Aimo Park works in partnership with property owners, housing cooperatives, municipalities and county councils.
Electric carshare service
In 2018, the company introduced Aimo in Stockholm, Sweden’s first electric carshare service. In August of that year, Aimo launched a trial of electric scooters. The acquisition of Q-Park further strengthens the strategy to invest in mobility companies and innovations that simplify everyday life.
