What Triab does

Triab Tri Innovations AB, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Mölndal, Sweden, designs and manufactures industrial oven systems and complete coating lines for paint curing, drying, and heat treatment applications. Its proprietary SPEEDOVEN platform combines infrared (IR) and convection heating to achieve faster cycle times and higher throughput than conventional convection ovens, with specialized variants including Flash Light SPEEDOVEN for water-based paints and UV SPEEDOVEN for UV-curable coatings. The company also produces IR tubes (Carbon, IRM, IRK, NIR Halogen), UV lamps (via partnership with Heraeus Noblelight), laboratory ovens, and IRM Booster retrofits that upgrade third-party installed equipment.

Triab serves enterprise customers across the wood and furniture industry, the metal and automotive industry, and a range of other verticals including food processing, plastics, glass, electronics, textiles, and paper. Named reference customers include IKEA, Electrolux, Citroën, Epiroc, Moelven, Ballingslöv, Elitfönster, Vedum, and MKW. Each project is custom-engineered and delivered as a turnkey installation including design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, training, and lifecycle service, with consumable spare parts (IR tubes, UV lamps) generating recurring revenue.

The company employs approximately 20 people and generates annual revenue of approximately 45 MSEK (~$4.2M USD). It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Argynnis Group AB (formerly Binar AB), itself 100% owned by Swedish private investment group Pomona-gruppen AB, and operates within Argynnis's Heating & Drying Group division. Triab holds ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) certifications and is currently active, having rebranded in 2024 following the Argynnis integration.
