Falkenbergs Kommun
Falkenbergs kommun (Falkenberg Municipality) is a Swedish local government entity (primärkommun) registered with Bolagsverket under organisation number 2120001231, with registry status recorded as Active. The municipality is located in Hallands län (Halland County) on Sweden’s west coast, with its administrative seat in the town of Falkenberg. As of mid-2026, official population statistics report approximately 47,470 inhabitants, making Falkenberg the fourth-largest municipality by population in Halland County and the largest by land area, at roughly 1,108 km² of land (around 1,826 km² including water). The municipality’s current boundaries date from the Swedish local-government reorganisation of the early 1970s.
As a kommun, Falkenberg carries out the statutory responsibilities assigned to Swedish primary municipalities, including compulsory education, elderly and disability care, urban planning, local infrastructure, and water and waste services, funded principally through municipal income tax and state grants. The local economy is described by the municipality as diversified and dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with a significant tourism sector anchored by the Gekås Ullared department store, one of Sweden’s largest single-site retail destinations, drawing several million visitors annually, alongside coastal tourism at Skrea Strand and other attractions. Public reporting for 2022 identified the municipality itself as the area’s largest employer, with around 4,175 staff, ahead of Gekås Ullared as the largest private-sector employer. In 2025 Falkenberg was named Sweden’s best municipality for retail trade (Sveriges bästa handelskommun).
Falkenbergs kommun does not have a stock-exchange listing. As a public-sector body it is not a company in the commercial sense and has no shareholders or traded securities. It controls a number of municipal companies operating in housing, energy, water and waste, and tourism, held through the group parent Falkenbergs Stadshus AB.

Officers
Directors and officers of Falkenbergs Kommun
As a Swedish municipality, Falkenberg does not have company directors; it is led by a combination of elected politicians and appointed civil servants. The senior appointed official is Kicki Nordberg, kommundirektör (municipal CEO), who heads the municipal administration and coordinates the municipality’s departments. She took up the post in August 2023, moving from the equivalent role at Stenungsunds kommun, succeeding Lars Fröding, and also serves as CEO of the municipal holding company Falkenbergs Stadshus AB. Political leadership of the kommunstyrelse (municipal executive board) has, according to the municipality’s own published board records for the 2023–2026 mandate period, been held by Per Svensson (Social Democrats, S) as kommunstyrelsens ordförande since January 2019.
Following the Swedish general elections held in September 2026, public reporting indicates Svensson stood as his party’s lead candidate for the regional assembly (Region Halland) rather than for re-election to the municipal executive board. Formal confirmation of the kommunstyrelse’s composition and chair for the new mandate period had not been located as of the information date.
