PAX Scandinavia develops, produces and markets the footwear brands: PAX, Sköna Marie, Marstrand and Tellus. The history of Pax Scandinavias dates back to 1894 when Erik Åqvist was a part of starting the Örebro Skofabrik, which would be the first in a long line of shoe factories in the Swedish "shoe city" Örebro. Erik Åqvist started to sell shoes in his company "Carlsson & Åqvist", the company that would become synonymous with Swedish shoe production throughout the 1900s, with famous factories like PAX, REX and Master. The company is still located in Örebro where all design and product development still takes place. Since 1998 PAX Scandinavia is a part of the New Wave Group.
