SIGBI System

What SIGBI System does

SIGBI System AB is a privately held Swedish industrial automation distributor and engineering partner headquartered in Helsingborg, founded around 1980. The company supplies control systems, servo motors, stepper motors, frequency converters, linear actuators, soft starters, DC brakes, and accessories to industrial machine manufacturers (maskintillverkare), AGV/AMR builders, and operators in hygiene-critical and harsh-environment applications across Sweden. Its core technology stack is a bundled, multi-vendor automation platform: SIGMATEK PLCs and motion controllers, KEBA and NIDEC Control Techniques servo drives, JVL integrated servo motors, FASTECH stepper and EC motors, KINCO motors and HMI, ABI stainless steel motors, ROLLCO linear units, INVT frequency converters, plus VersiStart soft starters and VersiBrake DC brakes. Fieldbus protocols supported include EtherCAT, PROFINET, and CC-Link, and the company supplies wireless operator panels and integrated servo wheels for AGV/AMR use cases.

Beyond pure distribution, SIGBI performs modest engineering customization, most notably ruggedized servo drives for off-shore and defence applications (IP67, shock/vibration resistant, integrated EMC filter and brake chopper). The business model is B2B hardware sales via direct, consultative field sales out of the Helsingborg headquarters, where sales, warehouse, and service workshop share a single address. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. GTM relies on trade show presence (ELMIA Subcontractor, SPS Nuremberg, All About Automation Zürich, IceFish), technical content (a published handbook on drive systems, partner videos, newsletter), and recurring customer training. The company has served more than 6,000 Swedish customers over 40+ years and cites reach from single-person workshops to large international corporations. CEO Stefan Svelenius leads a small team of 1-10 employees, and no external investment or parent ownership has been disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Bosch Rexroth: Global factory automation incumbent offering drives, motion control, PLCs and linear technology — competes with SIGBI's entire range, particularly in Swedish factory automation and mobile machinery.
• Nord Drivesystems: German-headquartered global manufacturer and distributor of gearmotors, frequency inverters and servo drives — competes with SIGBI's principals (e.g. NIDEC) and increasingly sells directly into the Nordic OEM market.
• Beckhoff Automation: German PC-based control and EtherCAT technology leader — SIGBI already partners with Beckhoff for EtherCAT, but Beckhoff's direct sales of controllers, drives and I/O compete with SIGBI's SIGMATEK/FASTECH solutions.
• SEW-Eurodrive: Global drive and automation specialist offering motors, gear units, drives and mechatronic systems with strong Scandinavian presence — a broader incumbent whose drive portfolio overlaps SIGBI's servo and frequency converter offering.
• ABB Motion: Swiss-Swedish incumbent offering motors, drives and motion control products with strong Scandinavian presence — competes with SIGBI's frequency converter, servo drive and motor portfolio for Swedish machine builders.
• KEBA Industrial Automation: Austrian manufacturer of servo drives (KeDrive, ServoOne), PLCs and operator panels — one of SIGBI's core principals, but also a direct competitor when KEBA engages end customers in Sweden.

Direct peers

• OEM Automatic AB: Swedish industrial automation distributor selling motors, drives, sensors and control components to Nordic machine manufacturers — the closest direct competitor to SIGBI in terms of geography, customer base and product mix.
• Wittenstein SE: German manufacturer of precision planetary gearboxes, servo actuators and linear systems — a listed SIGBI partner that also sells directly into Nordic high-precision automation customers.
• Elinco AB: Swedish automation distributor focused on servo and stepper drives, motion control and machine-building customers — directly comparable in scale, geography and offering to SIGBI.
• BIBUS AG: European (with Nordic subsidiaries) distributor of motors, drives, gearboxes and control components to industrial OEMs — competes with SIGBI for machine-builder design-ins across Scandinavia.
