In 2003, the brand underlying Fristads and Kansas changed its name to Kwintet, and in 2005 it was acquired by the private equity firm Industri Kapital. This eventually led to the Fristads and Kansas brands becoming a single brand - Fristads Kansas. This new brand is able to offer the widest range of high-quality work clothing, which will continue the appreciated work clothing tradition that Fristads and Kansas started during the last century. Kwintet got new owners in 2015 and with the change of the owner, the name was changed to Fristads Kansas Group.
