What STS does

STS operates a nationwide chain of accredited workshops in Sweden under the brand name Team Verkstad, specializing in service and repair of commercial and professional vehicles — trucks, buses, trailers, construction vehicles, cargo vans, cooling systems, hydraulics, cranes, and air conditioning units. The company has invested in capability for emerging commercial-vehicle powertrains, including hydrogen-fuel-cell heavy transport vehicles, electric light commercial vans, and heavy electric trucks, positioning for the Swedish fleet electrification transition. Distribution is delivered through 16 physical workshop locations spanning from Malmö in the south to Luleå in the north, supported by a 24/7 breakdown hotline, and through multi-OEM accreditations with brands such as Mercedes-Benz/Omniplus, MAN, DAF, Volvo, Scania, Setra, VDL, Krone, BPW, ZF, Ekeri, Palfinger, Cargobull, and Knorr-Bremse.

The business model is a per-job service and repair operation: customers — fleet operators, transport companies, and individual vehicle owners — bring vehicles to a workshop or call the breakdown line for emergency dispatch, with pricing conducted on a quote basis per engagement. Marketing is primarily through the company's own website and direct customer contact; there are no disclosed software products, APIs, or subscription lines. STS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Relais Group, a Nordic and Baltic vehicle aftermarket consolidator, which provides group-level procurement and operational scale. Strategic activity since 2024 has been dominated by acquisitions (Team Verkstad Sverige AB from Vy Buss AB in October 2024, TJ Fordonsservice in October 2025, Landströms Bygg & Plåt i Gällivare AB in December 2025) and a greenfield opening in Sundsvall, signalling an active buy-and-build roll-up strategy within the Swedish commercial-vehicle aftermarket.

The company is privately held, headquartered in Helsingborg, Sweden, was founded in 1993, and reports a headcount of 51–100 employees. No revenue figure is disclosed in source material; certifications referenced include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.
