The largest furniture manufacturing industry in Storvreta was AB K J Pettersson and Sons. Like Lund, Karl Julius (K J) Pettersson worked for Blomqvist's furniture company. In 1933, he started a small-scale manufacturing business of his own, together with his four sons Gösta, Nils, Karl-Erik and Birger. The production grew, and Pettersson built a larger factory and a furniture shop. In 1953 yet another larger factory building, which still exists, was built in the Lyckebo area of Storvreta. The company specialised in sofa beds with patented constructions, as well as other furniture. When the first dedicated student housing was built in Uppsala, Pettersson's were commissioned to deliver the furnishings. The firm employed 50-60 people in low season, and about 100 people in high season. A large furniture shop was built near the E4 motorway in Svista; this shop burnt down in 1979. In 1980, the Lyckebo factory buildings were sold and the company closed down.
