What Hexatronic Group does
Hexatronic Group AB is a Swedish public company (STO: HTRO) founded in 1990 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, operating through approximately 40 local operational units and ~2,000 employees across 13 countries. The company designs, manufactures, and installs fiber optic infrastructure under six business areas: Fiber Solutions (cables, microducts, and accessories for FTTH), Data Center (design-to-completion services via the USNet, Communication Zone, Impact Data Solutions, and Superior Fiber & Data Services acquisitions), Harsh Environment (dynamic cables via Rochester Cable and Fibron, connectivity via Tech Optics, and sensors via Proximion), Powered Fiber (InOne system integrating power and fiber), Wireless (FTTA, 5G small cells, backhaul), and Training (Light Brigade, Mpirical, Edugrade, PQMS).
The underlying technology centers on proprietary microduct and micro-cable solutions (including the Viper Ease Micro Cable), dynamic cables engineered for defense and industrial applications, integrated power-and-fiber systems, and fiber-optic sensor platforms. Manufacturing is distributed across Sweden, the United States (Clinton, SC; being downsized), and Asia (KNET plant), with bolt-on acquisitions historically financed through senior bank loans and equity.
Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales of fiber components and systems, supplemented by professional services (data center design/installation) and training services. The company sells directly to network owners, telecom operators, data center operators, defense and industrial customers, and energy companies through enterprise field sales channels. R12 net sales at Dec 31, 2025 were SEK 7,519 million (-1% YoY), with a strategic pivot shifting mix toward Data Center and Harsh Environment, which now contribute over 50% of group adjusted EBITDA, against a SEK 3.0 billion 2028 Data Center revenue target and an SEK 120 million EBITA improvement program.
