What Sesab does

Sesab Service AB is a family-owned Swedish commercial cleaning and facility services company headquartered in Malmö, founded in 1981 and operated under the Sesab Gruppen AB holding structure. The company delivers a portfolio of 14 services organized into three pillars: Lokalvård (cleaning services spanning office, industrial, cleanroom, floor and mat care, window cleaning, and property care), Kontorsservice (office services including reception staffing, mail handling, conference support, office supplies, fruit baskets, and entrance mats), and Drift & underhåll (operations and maintenance covering graffiti removal and facade cleaning). A differentiated capability is its ISO 14644 and GMP-certified cleanroom cleaning (Renrum), serving pharmaceutical, healthcare, electronics, and food-industry clients with regulatory-grade contamination control.

The business is sales-led, with quote-based customized service agreements and monthly billing — a recurring-revenue model. Sesab employs approximately 260 people across five regional offices in Malmö (HQ), Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Kristianstad, and Halmstad, serving more than 600 contract customers across seven Swedish counties (Skåne, Småland, Blekinge, Halland, Västra Götaland, and Östra Götaland). The group also includes sister company Lefa, providing outdoor environment services, which together with Sesab forms the Sesab Gruppen AB holding. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, and has maintained the Nordic Swan Ecolabel license since December 2013. Annual turnover is approximately 110 million SEK, and the company has been recognized with industry awards including Cleaning Company of the Year 2019 and Environmental Company of the Year 2022.
