What DGM does
DGM Sverige AB is a Swedish private limited company specializing in dangerous goods (farligt gods) transport compliance, training, and advisory services across all four transport modes: road (ADR), rail (RID), sea (IMDG), and air (IATA DGR). Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Stockholm-Arlandastad (Industrigatan 13), the firm operates four offices across Sweden — Gothenburg (Landvetter), Gothenburg (Hisingen), Stockholm-Arlanda, and Malmö — and serves airlines, freight forwarders, road/rail/maritime operators, safety advisors, and battery manufacturers. Headcount is reported at 11-50, with revenue and ownership undisclosed in available sources. The company holds IATA CBTA Center Provider certification (active since September 2022), MSB approval for IBC Kontrollant training, and ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 14001:2015 certifications valid through 2028-01-16.
DGM's product surface spans four streams: (1) Training and education — classroom and e-learning courses via the DGM Academy LMS (elearning.dgm.se) covering ADR, RID, IMDG, IATA DGR (including Functions 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4-7.10), radioactive material, lithium/sodium batteries, and safety advisor preparation; (2) Regulation publications — Swedish-language handbooks (ADR-S 2025, RID-S 2025 with U-TAB tabs), the IMDG Code 2024 Edition 42-24, Supplement 2024, and the IATA DGR 67th Edition 2026; (3) Compliance equipment — ADR safety bags, vehicle placards, LiProPac and Explosafe packaging, Templogg temperature loggers, and labels; and (4) Consulting — security and DG checks (including X-ray operations at Stockholm Arlanda), packing and documentation, temperature-sensitive goods handling, säkerhetsrådgivare (safety advisor) services, and transport security. Proprietary digital tools include the ADR-checklista searchable database (checklista.dgm.se) for UN-number-based classification lookup and the DGM Academy LMS with progress tracking and automated certificate generation.
The business model is a hybrid direct-to-consumer B2B operation: distribution combines a direct e-commerce storefront (dgm.se), four physical training facilities (with overflow at Quality Hotel The Weaver Gothenburg and Gustaf Fröding Hotell), and the self-serve e-learning platform. Pricing ranges from 1,280 kr for entry-level ADR e-learning to 22,700 kr for IATA Initial Avsändare 7.1 (5-day) courses, with regulation books priced 1,475-4,850 kr. Revenue mixes professional services (training and advisory) with one-time publication sales and hardware sales, all denominated in SEK ex-VAT. Operating geography is Sweden-only with no international footprint, and the marketing stack is limited to the dgm.se website, LinkedIn (DGM Sweden AB), Facebook (dgmsverige), and email newsletters. The ownership structure is founder/management-held with no disclosed institutional investment or funding rounds.

DGM competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- DNV: Maritime-focused certification and advisory firm with transport, supply chain, and dangerous goods risk services. DNV is comparable on maritime regulatory expertise (IMDG-related) and certification credibility but is far larger and serves global maritime, energy, and industrial customers rather than small/medium European shippers.
- Intertek: Global TIC company providing hazardous materials and dangerous goods testing, certification, and training services across multiple transport modes. Intertek competes with DGM for enterprise DG compliance work but from a much broader assurance portfolio and global delivery footprint.
- SGS: World-leading testing, inspection, and certification company with hazardous materials and dangerous goods compliance services. SGS overlaps with DGM on DG advisory and certification but covers dozens of industries and geographies, making DGM a niche specialist by comparison.
- Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) major with industry-specific compliance services including dangerous goods, transport safety, and ISO certification. Bureau Veritas overlaps with DGM on certification and advisory services but operates across a much broader portfolio of industries and geographies.
- TÜV Rheinland: Global TIC provider offering transport of dangerous goods audits, training, and certification across road, rail, sea, and air modes. Comparable to DGM on multi-modal DG compliance services but operating at global scale with broader industrial testing offerings.
Direct peers
- Labelmaster: US-based provider of dangerous goods labels, placards, packaging, regulation books, and training materials across all transport modes. Labelmaster is the closest direct peer to DGM's products and publications business, with overlapping catalogs of hazmat labels, UN-certified packaging, and reference handbooks targeting shippers, carriers, and freight forwarders.
