What Bevi does

BEVI AB is a Swedish industrial company founded in 1931 and headquartered in Blomstermåla, Sweden, specializing in energy-efficient electric drive systems and power generation solutions. The company designs, produces, and distributes electric motors (including specialized variants for marine, hazardous/explosion-proof, dry-kiln, and inverter-driven applications), transmissions (over 100,000 flexible configurations maintained in inventory), automation and motor control equipment (frequency inverters and motor starters sourced from global partners Danfoss, Delta, Vacon, and Invertek), and asynchronous and synchronous generators up to approximately 10,000 kW, including a shaft generator for maritime applications. BEVI also holds a patented VIS brake unit technology (acquired via Italy-based Coel Motori in 2025), and is described as Sweden's leading supplier of coil winding material (slip rings, high-voltage cables, fiberglass epoxy, copper wire, etc.). The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Addtech AB, a Swedish technology trading group listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, with no third-party institutional investment disclosed.

BEVI serves industrial enterprise customers across at least seven verticals — marine, hydropower and wind power, sawmills and pulp/paper, agriculture, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive/vehicle electrification, oil and gas/chemical (via IECEx- and ATEX-certified explosion-proof motors), water and wastewater, and HVAC — through a sales-led, enterprise field-sales motion. The company operates owned sales and service offices in Sweden (Blomstermåla HQ, Umeå, Mjölby), Denmark (Albertslund, since 1991), Finland (Helsinki, since 1996), Norway (since 1997), China (Shanghai, since 2007), and India (since 2022), with the India operation also covering Middle East and Africa. Revenue is generated through five primary streams: sale of electric motors and generators; sale of transmissions from large inventory; sale of automation/motor-control products from third-party brands; service and maintenance (motor/generator/transformer rewinding, balancing, operational testing, training, plus 24/7 field service); and sale of coil winding material. A Blomstermåla-based workshop handles machines up to 20 metric tons, complemented by an e-commerce "My pages" portal for existing customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with quote-based, custom-winding, and configured-solution economics across all product categories.
