What Industry Support does

IndustriSupport is a Sweden-based, family-owned B2B staffing and recruitment agency founded in 1999 in Arvika, operating under the registered legal name Industri Support Värmland AB. The company is headquartered in Arvika and maintains four additional regional offices in Karlstad, Sunne, Karlskoga, and Örebro, serving industrial and manufacturing customers across Värmland, Närke, Dalsland, and Västmanland. Its core offering comprises three revenue streams: temporary staffing (Inhyrning), direct recruitment for permanent placements (Rekrytering), and term-to-perm hiring (Hyrrekrytering), all priced on a quote-based, customized professional-services basis. The customer base is concentrated in industrial manufacturing sub-sectors (machining, welding, valves, robotics, construction, electronics), with named clients including Wenmec, Somas Ventiler AB, Andon Robotics AB, and Dywidag Sverige AB.

The company's technology stack is light and partner-dependent: it integrates Assessio's Matrigma (non-verbal aptitude test) and MAP (Five-Factor Model personality assessment) into its recruitment workflow, and operates a dedicated job-listing platform (jobb.industrisupport.com) alongside a website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube presence. Additional product lines include HR Support, a Flexibility Pool network for cross-company labor sharing, industrial training (forklift, cranes, hot works, fall protection), and a Whistleblowing service. The firm holds authorized staffing credentials from Kompetensføretagen and is GDPR-compliant.

Commercially, IndustriSupport operates a sales-led go-to-market through its regional offices, positioning itself as an "extended HR partner" to industrial SMEs. It is owned and operated by the Henriksson family — founder Kent Henriksson established the company in 1999, and Petra Henriksson currently serves as CEO. The business is bootstrapped with no external funding, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. With 51-100 employees, the company is a stable, mature SME focused on regional industrial workforce supply rather than national or international scale.
