The business area holds a strong market position in the Nordics. A local base combined with high levels of technical expertise provide the companies with competitive advantages in their respective niche markets. Demand tracks developments in the manufacturing industry.

Long-term relationships with leading global suppliers are essential and a high priority.

Market

Energy’s companies hold leading market positions in their respective niche areas in electrical power products and electrical safety. In addition to trading, several companies also manufacture niche products under their own brands.

However, the business area provides a large proportion of aftermarket services, which are driven by maintenance requirements.
