What Constructor does

Constructor Sverige AB is a Swedish warehouse storage equipment and intralogistics solutions provider headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Norwegian-based Gonvarri Material Handling AS (itself within the Gonvarri Industries group). The company supplies hardware and lifecycle services across the warehouse storage value chain — from planning and consultation through installation, inspection, maintenance, and safety training — with manufacturing performed in group-owned factories in Germany and Romania.

The core product portfolio spans four pillars: adjustable pallet racking (P90 system, MOVO mobile racking on rails capable of +80% capacity and -50% space, the Pallet Shuttle for FIFO/LIFO compact storage, Push-Back, and Roller Rack); versatile shelving (Hi280 with DNV GL conductivity certification for ESD storage, Longspan LS3); automated storage and retrieval systems (TORNADO Vertical Lift Module, GMH Tower); and cantilever racking plus structural mezzanines. The portfolio is certified against ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001, RAL-RG 614, EN1090, and CSA W47.1 standards, and integrates with warehouse management systems such as TCPlus.

The business operates a dual go-to-market: enterprise field sales organized by Swedish region with nine named regional sales representatives plus a dedicated reseller channel and warehouse automation sales team, complemented by a self-serve e-commerce web shop (store.constructor.se). Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales (pallet racking, shelving, storage automatons, cantilever, mezzanines) and recurring professional services (consultation, EN15635-compliant rack inspections, installation with no operational downtime, preventive maintenance, and Arbetsmiljöverket-compliant safety training per AFS 2023:12). Customer concentration spans 3PL (Jula, TESS), automotive (VOLVO PV), food and distillery (High Coast Distillery), and IT/asset management (3stepIT), with named deployments including 94,000 new pallet spaces for Jula and 80 picking stations with 5,660 pallet spaces for VOLVO PV.

Products and services

• Pallet Racking Systems Adjustable pallet racking systems for dense storage of palletized goods, including narrow-aisle configurations, drive-in systems, and deep-lane stacking solutions. Sold to warehouse operators across multiple industries.
• MOVO Mobile Pallet Racking Semi-automated mobile pallet racking system that moves on rails to eliminate fixed aisles, achieving up to 50% space savings and up to 80% capacity increase. Operates in temperatures from -30°C to +40°C and is compatible with AGV. Models range from 4 to 15 tonnes per wheel load.
• P90 Pallet System Flexible pallet racking system with functional accessories including wheel guides, pull-out units, and impact protection. Designed for dynamic storage with up to double storage capacity.
• Pallet Shuttle System Semi-automated compact storage system using a satellite shuttle cart to move pallets within the rack structure, from intake to outloading. Supports both FIFO and LIFO principles, ideal for high-rotation goods in freeze and cold storage.
• Push-Back System FILO (Last-In, First-Out) storage system for bulk goods using inclined roller lanes. Multiple pallets are stored depth-wise, with the last pallet in pushing subsequent pallets to the front for retrieval.
• Roller Rack FIFO roller conveyor system for first-in, first-out pallet flow, reducing handling time. Suitable for high-rotation goods requiring controlled gravity-fed movement.
• Hi280 Shelving System Versatile shelving system ranging from standard shelving to high-bay storage and multi-tier mezzanine configurations. Features modular adjustability, ESD conductivity certification (3.1 mΩ resistance), and spans light to medium-duty applications.
• Longspan LS3 Shelving System Heavy-duty shelving for large, bulky, and awkward items. Features open-frame construction for front and back loading, and a wide accessory range for customization.
• TORNADO Vertical Lift Module Automated vertical storage and retrieval machine delivering goods directly to the operator at an ergonomic work height. Features high storage density, fast cycle times, batch picking capability, and WMS connectivity.
• GMH Tower Storage Elevator Vertical lift module with three variants — Tower S, Tower LS, and Tower MS — offering different performance and capacity profiles for automated storage and retrieval.
• Cantilever Racking Cantilever racking systems designed for storing long, heavy, or awkward items such as timber, pipes, rods, and sheets. Available in light-duty, standard, and mobile configurations.
• Mezzanine / Entresol Structural intermediate floors installed within existing buildings to double usable floor area by leveraging vertical clearance. Configurable with stairs, railings, gates, and flooring options.
• Goods Hoist Industrial goods hoists for vertical transport of materials between mezzanine levels or within multi-tier storage facilities.
• Rack Inspection and Compliance Services Rack inspection services conducted in accordance with EN15635 and Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) requirements, including structural evaluation and safety compliance verification.
• Consultation and Advisory Warehouse planning and advisory services covering layout optimization, capacity analysis, workflow mapping, and phased installation planning to maintain operational continuity.
• Installation and Assembly Own installation teams deliver rack upgrades and new installations with safety focus and no operational downtime for customers.
• Service and Maintenance

Broad incumbents

• TGW Logistics Group: Austrian-headquartered integrated warehouse and distribution automation provider combining storage equipment, conveyors, and WMS/WCS software. Competes with Constructor for large Scandinavian 3PL and e-commerce warehouse modernization mandates.
• Dematic: KION-owned global intralogistics integrator delivering automated storage, fulfillment, and supply chain solutions at enterprise scale. Competes with Constructor in pallet AS/RS and shuttle-based storage, especially in greenfield fulfillment centers, while operating a much broader software-centric portfolio.

Direct peers

• Mecalux: Spanish-headquartered manufacturer of pallet racking, shelving, cantilever systems, and automated storage equipment with own production facilities across Europe and the Americas. Closely comparable product mix and direct overlap with Constructor on warehouse modernization and light automation.
• Dexion: Sister brand under Gonvarri Material Handling operating across the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, and Eastern Europe. Offers essentially the same pallet racking, shelving, mezzanine, and storage automation portfolio as Constructor, but in different geographies, making it the closest functional and product-equivalent peer.
• Modula: Italy-based manufacturer of vertical lift modules and automated storage solutions for industrial and warehouse use. Overlaps with Constructor's VLM range and competes on similar parts storage modernization bids across Europe.
• SSI Schaefer: Global intralogistics specialist with a directly overlapping pallet racking, shelving, mezzanine, and automated storage portfolio plus a deeper WMS/WCS software stack. Competes head-to-head with Constructor on large multi-site European tenders and on cold-chain modernization projects.
• Hänel (Lean-Lift): German specialist in vertical lift storage systems (Hänel Lean-Lift, Hänel Rotomat) for industrial and warehouse parts handling. Direct VLM competitor to Constructor's TORNADO and GMH Tower platforms across DACH and broader European accounts.
• Kardex: Swiss-listed supplier of vertical lift modules, horizontal carousels, and automated storage solutions via Kardex Remstar and Kardex Mlog. Directly comparable to Constructor's TORNADO VLM and GMH Tower product lines in compact parts storage.
• Kasten: Finnish Gonvarri Material Handling brand selling pallet racking and storage solutions to Nordic and Baltic customers. Effectively a sister/operating-peer to Constructor under the same parent, with overlapping product lines and similar customer segments.

Others

• Interroll: Swiss-listed provider of material handling components — conveyors, rollers, motors, and sorters — that often integrate with Constructor-style pallet racking and shuttle installations, making it an enabling ecosystem peer rather than a direct racking competitor.
