Megacon

What Megacon does

Megacon AB is a Swedish provider of power quality, earth fault, and insulation monitoring equipment for mission-critical electrical installations, founded in 1984 in Stockholm by Peter Stockhaus and operating as a subsidiary of Socomec Group since 2023. Its core product portfolio includes the IsoBase earth fault monitoring system, DIRIS Digiware modular power and energy meters, ISOM Digiware and Medsys insulation monitoring systems, ATyS transfer switching equipment, SUNSYS HES energy storage systems, and proprietary Rogowski coil current sensors built on technology with over 30 years of development. The technology stack emphasizes modularity, rapid deployment (DIRIS Digiware deploys in roughly a quarter of the time of traditional systems), and integration through the WEBVIEW software platform and MC-Web energy portal for individual metering and billing (IMD).

The company serves five primary vertical segments: data centers (driven by EU Energy Efficiency Directive compliance), medical and hospital facilities (using Medsys for patient safety), commercial real estate (using MC-Web for tenant billing and energy reporting), residential and apartment buildings (IMD for utilities), and industrial facilities (predictive maintenance and power continuity). Named enterprise customers span commercial real estate projects (Sickla Front II, Karlatornet, Kv Nationalarenan, Magasin X Uppsala), Sweden's first zero-carbon-certified retirement building (Sköndalsvillan), and other mission-critical sites including Hangar 5.

Megacon's business model rests on three revenue streams: hardware product sales of monitoring and switching equipment (the largest stream), recurring subscription revenue from MC-Web billed per metering point, and professional services for installation, commissioning, and technical support. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales with regional sales engineers covering Stockholm, Skåne, and Jönköping, supplemented by a Scandinavian distributor channel and an e-commerce platform for registered customers. The company operates from a new larger headquarters in Bromma, Stockholm (effective August 2025), with additional sales offices in Malmö and Jönköping, and sells into Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the Baltic states through Socomec's regional network.
