I don't know Swedish. I don't know the Swedish word used for towing so I can't even look online (knowing that some businesses don't have much of an online presence).
I don't need a tow now but I will need one soon.
Can anyone point me to a towing company?

Viking, who are probably the biggest in Norway are also in Sweden

I'm guessing Assistancekåren has the largest nationwide network, they also do both emergency towing and planned transports (as I believe the OP is looking for). But I have absolutely no idea what their rates are in comparison to small, local towing companies.
BTW, short-distance towing of one car by another car (maximum 30km/h) is "bogsering" in Swedish.

The Eniro yellow pages will give you a fairly good overview:

BTW, never heard about Viking before, probably bigger in Norway than here. ;)

Quite agree, Assitancekåren and Falck are the business to call...
