What Scangrip does

Scangrip A/S is a Denmark-based manufacturer of professional LED work lights, founded in 1906 as a local blacksmith on the island of Tåsinge and pivoted toward LED-based professional lighting after Anders Borring acquired the company in 1993. Today the company designs and sells a broad portfolio spanning floodlights, handlamps, headlamps, flashlights, penlights, UV curing lights, and ATEX/IECEx-certified explosion-proof lights, alongside complementary sub-brands CANVIK (coil spring compressors) and MAGNEFIX (vice jaws). Its core differentiator is the proprietary CONNECT system — featuring a SMART CONNECTOR adapter and CAS (Cordless Alliance System) membership — which makes Scangrip work lights compatible with 18V/20V battery packs from all leading power tool brands, supplemented by Bluetooth light control and high-CRI LED options for paint and detailing applications.

The business model is wholesale/distributor-led with a direct-to-customer webshop overlay. Scangrip distributes through a global network of independent distributors supported by a partner portal (partner.scangrip.com), regional sales managers (e.g., Iberia/Latin America), and a dedicated North America subsidiary in Atlanta. Products are sold at unit prices ranging from roughly €11 (entry flashlights) to €1,475 (SITE LIGHT 80 + CASE), serving professional end-markets across automotive repair and detailing, painting/colour matching, construction, and hazardous-area industrial use. The company is privately held, has been part of Sweden-based Hultafors Group since 2021, and holds ISO 9001/14001 certification from Bureau Veritas, with global commercial reach across 40+ countries.
