What Mtab Group does

Mtab Group is a Nordic logistics provider founded in 1968 in Stockholm, specializing in transportation, storage, conservation and installation of valuable and sensitive objects across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The company operates four core business areas — Fine Art Logistics (transport, climate-controlled storage, conservation, exhibition services for museums, galleries and private collectors), High Tech Logistics (transport, installation, configuration and recycling of medical, IT/telecom and banking/security equipment), Warehousing (climate-controlled facilities, 3PL, separate customer depots, art storage) and Exhibition Production (display cases, scenography, travelling exhibitions). Supporting services include in-house packing technology using ISPM 15-certified wooden packaging and Neopolen-based frames, vibration and shock monitoring via GPS, secure transportation with geofencing, final-mile delivery and the MyMTAB customer portal.

The revenue model blends project-based and recurring managed services: transportation and installation work is priced per job (with a weekly fuel surcharge that reached 22.33% in June 2026 and a SEK 40 congestion tax per order), 3PL and storage operate as recurring managed services, and auction logistics through the Transportbyrån subsidiary earns transaction-based fees. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified across all Nordic operations, holds memberships in ICEFAT, ARTIM, TENESO and TecDis, and is co-owner of TENESO. Distribution is direct field sales with dedicated Fine Art and High Tech account managers across the Nordics plus an international partner network reaching 28+ countries through the Hasenkamp Group, which took a 25% minority stake in July 2025. Notable customers span museums (Louisiana, SMK, Museum of Ethnography, Drottningholm Palace Theatre), medical (Philips Medical Systems, Getinge, FlexRay Medical, Mediel), technology (Toshiba, IBM) and long-running gallery relationships (Wetterling, 40+ years).
