Drivhuset

What Drivhuset does

Drivhuset, operating as DrivHuset AB, is a Swedish industrial distributor specializing in frequency converters (variable frequency drives, or VFDs) for motor speed control and energy efficiency. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Mjölby, Sweden, the company distributed Danfoss and Vacon (now part of Danfoss) product lines spanning micro converters from 0.25 kW up to industrial units of 355 kW, including FC-102 HVAC, FC-202 Aqua, FC-302 Automation, VACON100 Industrial, VACON100 FLOW, IC2 Micro, and VACON20 series, supported by communication and control accessories such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CANopen, and DeviceNet modules. Its go-to-market combined inside sales with regional offices in Mjölby and Umeå, an e-commerce storefront with registered-customer net pricing, 24/7 technical support, and pre-programming/customization services for industrial customers.

The business model is hardware-led distribution with value-added services: unit-priced sales of OEM frequency converters, augmented by customization, pre-programming, accessories, and technical support, with pricing quote-based and net prices available only to registered buyers. End markets were industrial manufacturing (pumps, fans, transport belts), HVAC, and water and aquaculture applications addressing pain points around energy consumption, motor speed optimization, and process control.

Effective 31 December 2024, DrivHuset AB completed a statutory merger (samgående) with BEVI AB, a broader Swedish supplier of electric drive systems and power generation solutions headquartered in Blomstermåla. From that date, both companies' operations are conducted jointly through BEVI AB; deliveries and invoicing began from BEVI AB in week 51 of 2024. DrivHuset's personnel, product portfolio, and 24/7 support are retained, while warehouse capacity and Nordic regional office footprint expand under the combined entity.

Broad incumbents

• Rockwell Automation: Major industrial automation and control incumbent with PowerFlex VFDs. Competes for the same industrial manufacturing and process customers Drivhuset targets, though with a stronger focus on factory automation in North America.
• Schneider Electric: Global energy management and automation incumbent with the Altivar family of VFDs. Competes head-to-head in HVAC, water/wastewater, and general industrial variable-speed applications — the same use cases that anchor Drivhuset's customer segments.
• Eaton: Diversified power management and industrial control company with a VFD portfolio (e.g., PowerXL DG1, DM1). Overlaps with Drivhuset in industrial, HVAC, and pump/fan applications in the Nordics.
• Siemens: Diversified industrial automation incumbent selling Sinamics VFDs alongside motors, controls, and digital industrial software. Overlaps with Drivhuset in industrial motor control, HVAC, and process automation accounts across the Nordics.
• ABB: Global industrial automation and electrification incumbent with a large ACS-series VFD portfolio. Competes for the same Nordic industrial, HVAC, and water customers Drivhuset serves, typically at the higher-power end and through direct sales channels.

Direct peers

• Yaskawa: Specialist manufacturer of industrial VFDs and servo drives (e.g., A1000, V1000, GA700 series). Closely comparable product line, target applications, and customer profile, distributed in the Nordics through both direct and partner channels.
• Danfoss: Global manufacturer of VFDs (including the Vacon brand) and the company's principal supplier. Direct peer in the sense that Danfoss drives — FC-102, FC-202, FC-302, IC2 — are the core product range distributed, and Danfoss itself sells similar drives into the same Nordic industrial, HVAC, and water segments.
• WEG: Brazilian-origin global manufacturer of electric motors, drives (CFW series VFDs), and generators. Competes in the same industrial motor-control and energy-efficiency applications, often via local distributors in the Nordic region.
• BEVI AB: Swedish electric drive systems and power generation solutions company that absorbed DrivHuset AB on 31/12/2024. Directly comparable as the new parent entity combining the same Danfoss/Vacon VFD product lines with a broader portfolio and wider Nordic office network.

Regional players

• OEM Automatic: Swedish industrial automation components distributor selling drives, motors, sensors, and controls. Closely comparable as a Nordic-region technical distributor with overlapping product categories (VFDs, motor controls) and a similar value-added distribution model.
