Descriptiontext

Copiax AB is a privately-held Swedish B2B wholesale distributor, headquartered in Stockholm, specializing in locks and security products. Founded in 1952, the company is self-described as Sweden's largest wholesaler within locks and security systems, distributing approximately 43,000 SKUs from more than 100 manufacturers across 16 product categories including mechanical and electrical locking, alarms, camera surveillance, access control, fire safety, door automation, and network infrastructure. Major brand authorizations include Assa Abloy, Dormakaba, Salto, Hikvision, Hanwha, Ajax, and Abus.

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model combining a 24/7 e-commerce platform, EDI integration for automated B2B ordering, the CopiApp mobile application, and a physical storefront with extended hours. Pricing is non-public and requires approved customer login. Beyond hardware distribution, Copiax offers value-added services including the Security School training platform and a CE-marked door automation installation service delivered in partnership with Assa Abloy. The customer base is restricted to approved trade professionals — primarily locksmiths, security installers, and electrical installers operating in Sweden — who must apply to become customers. The company employs 51-100 people, is GDPR compliant, and operates exclusively in the Swedish market with no disclosed international expansion.
