Work System Sweden AB

What Work System Sweden AB does

Work System Sweden AB is a Swedish specialty manufacturer and retailer of vehicle interior systems and equipment for transport and service vans, pickup trucks, and trailers. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Tenhult, the company designs and produces modular shelving, drawer units, roof racks, bed covers, safety equipment, and lighting solutions, with proprietary technology such as the Flex List roof rack tracking system, the DIA (Dynamic Impact Absorber), and a double-floor system with crash deformation zones validated through real 60 km/h collision tests and over 100 destructive lab tests against the NS286 standard. Its 2,004-SKU catalog is sold through 22 company-owned facilities from Malmö to Kiruna, a certified ProPartner installer network, and a direct e-commerce site, with prices spanning from ~23 SEK accessories to ~85,000 SEK complete bed-cover systems. The business is primarily owned by Entreprenörinvest AB, itself 100% owned by the Kamprad family foundation associated with IKEA, and serves both individual tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, facility managers) and enterprise fleet customers, exemplified by a 100-vehicle contract with Nordic infrastructure firm Transtema and a co-developed mobile battery-charging product line with Husqvarna. Go-to-market combines direct field sales for fleet deals, a multi-location retail and installation footprint for SMB and consumer customers, and a partnership channel (Brenderup for trailers, ProPartners for installation coverage), with revenue generated from one-time product sales, professional installation services, and aftermarket accessories.
