What Amokabel does

Amokabel is a privately-held Swedish cable manufacturer founded in 1992 by Jan Blad and Erland Erlandsson in Alstermo, Sweden, operating under the majority ownership of the Jan & Erland Foundation since 2016. The company designs and manufactures specialized wire and cable solutions across six primary verticals: Subsea (submarine, fish farm, ROV umbilicals, offshore renewables), Industry (marine, mining, airport, control and machinery), Mobility (automotive, e-mobility, railway), Power Networks (covered conductors up to 52 kV, bare conductors, MV and PV cables), Installation (AmoPro sub-brand for electricians, halogen-free building cables), and Defence (AS-9100 certified aerospace, naval, weapon stations, radar). The group operates from six locations across Sweden, Norway, the UK, Germany, Australia, and Spain, with a 55,000 m² main production facility at Alstermo and 430+ employees globally. Revenue exceeded €140 million in 2023, and the company has more than 10,000 unique cable designs in its portfolio, with manufacturing capabilities spanning cable cross-sections up to 2,000 mm² and diameters up to 100 mm. Amokabel is 100% self-sufficient in renewable energy through its own wind, solar, and hydroelectric installations, producing 14.1 million kWh in 2024 with surplus energy generation.

Amokabel's go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise field sales via local offices in each country for major infrastructure projects (e.g., the SSEN five-year framework agreement for UK utility distribution), alongside a global distributor network and retail channels for installation products in Scandinavian chains. The company has pursued growth through inorganic expansion: Flexcables Ltd in the UK (2018), Norway entity merger (2019), Australia subsidiary (2021), UK high-temperature cable factory (2023), Germany sales office (2023), and Barcelona-based Amokabel IAC (2025). Recent product investments include a 2 MW wind turbine and a new fire test laboratory planned for 2026, alongside a tripling of bare conductor capacity to be completed by 2028. Certifications include AS-9100/ISO 9100 for aerospace, ISO 9001/14001/45001, CE, CPR, and RoHS, positioning the company as a qualified supplier into mission-critical defense and grid infrastructure programs.
