Roslöv

What Roslöv does

Roslöv AB is a privately held Swedish specialist services company headquartered in Gothenburg, providing air raid shelter (skyddsrum) inspection, remediation, maintenance, consulting, and material supply. The company was founded in 1956 as Arros AB and renamed Roslöv AB in 1973. Since October 2025, following the discontinuation of its door business, Roslöv has operated as a pure-play shelter services company. Together with its sister company BLP AB (which acquired 100% of Roslöv in 2024), it forms Sweden's largest civil protection shelter conglomerate, with regional offices in Gothenburg, Karlstad, Jönköping, Skövde, Falkenberg, and — via BLP — Stockholm and Malmö.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) professional services (one-time inspections, remediation projects, and consultancy), (2) recurring annual service contracts (Serviceavtal Silver and Gold) covering preventive maintenance and certification, and (3) material and equipment supply from Gothenburg's largest shelter pickup warehouse. The customer base is concentrated in Swedish property owners, municipalities, contractors, and housing cooperatives (BRF), with named enterprise clients including Skanska, Balder, Castellum, Stena, Riksbyggen, HSB, Platzer, Göteborg Energi, HIGAB, and Trafikverket. All field technicians are MCF-certified (Myndigheten för civilt försvar), representing the company's core technical credential.

The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: free initial consultations, fixed-price remediation quotes, and ongoing advisory relationships. Demand is structurally driven by Sweden's Skyddsrumslagen (2006:545) and MCF's increasing inspection cadence, which creates an expanding compliance-and-remediation backlog. Distribution is direct (field service and on-site delivery) plus a physical pickup warehouse for materials. No software products, APIs, or AI capabilities are described.

Revenue model

1. Professional Services — Inspection, Advisory & Remediation: Roslöv generates revenue by providing inspection, status certification, remediation/renovation, and advisory services to property owners. These are typically one-time project fees based on quotes derived from MCF inspection protocols. The company offers fixed-price quotes for remediation work to give customers cost predictability, and also performs control inspections for MCF compliance.
2. Service Contracts (Silver & Gold): Roslöv offers annual service agreements (serviceavtal Silver and Gold) covering inspection, maintenance, and certification of air raid shelters. These generate recurring subscription-like revenue from property owners. Service Silver includes general inspection, ventilation test, door/latch control, hinge lubrication, rust protection, storage review, and gasket inspection. Service Gold adds temperature/humidity measurement, ventilation oil lubrication, air intake pipe cleaning, drainage of riser shafts, shock wave valve inspection, and sealant cartridge replacement.
3. Material & Equipment Supply: Roslöv stocks and sells MCF-approved shelter equipment and materials (tools, filters, water containers, gaskets, and more) to property owners and contractors. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, either via walk-in pick-up from their Gothenburg warehouse or delivery. The company also offers packed and delivered material packages for shelter storage rooms.

Direct peers

• Anticimex: Anticimex is a Nordic property-compliance and inspection specialist (pest control, building condition, energy) serving residential and commercial property owners with recurring service contracts. It is comparable to Roslöv in targeting Swedish property owners with mandatory-compliance recurring service agreements, although its scope is broader than shelter-only.
• BLP AB: BLP AB is Roslöv's sister company and parent (acquired 100% of Roslöv in 2024) and operates Stockholm and Malmö offices on Roslöv's behalf. Together they form Sweden's largest shelter conglomerate. BLP provides the identical MCF-certified inspection, remediation, and recurring-maintenance service model as Roslöv, making it the closest direct peer.
• Hifab Group: Hifab is a Swedish building inspection, property condition assessment, and project-management consultancy serving public and commercial property owners. It is comparable in service line (building condition inspections, compliance advisory) and customer type (municipalities, real estate companies, public-sector clients), though operating in a broader building-compliance remit than shelters.

Broad incumbents

• Ramboll Sverige: Ramboll is a global engineering consultancy with a Swedish practice providing building condition surveys, compliance advisory, and safety/risk engineering to property owners and municipalities. It overlaps with Roslöv in providing specialist compliance and condition-assessment services to Swedish real estate, though it is a much larger, multi-disciplinary firm.
• ISS A/S: ISS is a large global facility services provider with a substantial Swedish operations business delivering property maintenance and compliance-related services to commercial real estate portfolios. It overlaps with Roslöv in serving large Swedish property owners with facility-maintenance contracts, but operates at much greater scale and across many service lines beyond shelters.
• Kiwa Sverige: Kiwa is a major international testing, inspection and certification (TIC) firm with a Swedish presence, providing building and infrastructure inspection, certification, and compliance services to property owners. It is comparable to Roslöv in providing third-party inspection and certification services, but operates broadly across many compliance domains rather than specialising in Swedish civil protection.
• Inspecta Sweden (part of Kiwa): Inspecta is a Nordic inspection, testing and certification firm serving industrial, construction, and real-estate clients. Comparable to Roslöv in delivering recurring compliance-driven inspection services to Swedish property and infrastructure owners, but with broader remit and significantly larger scale.

Others

• Hellbergs Dörrar i Mellerud AB: Hellbergs Dörrar acquired Roslöv in 2020 following Björn Roslöv's death and subsequently sold it to BLP in 2024. It is a Swedish manufacturer of security and fire doors historically tied to the shelter-door supply chain, making it an adjacent ecosystem participant that has previously owned and supplied into Roslöv's installed base.

Emerging players

• Brandskyddslaget: Brandskyddslaget is a Swedish fire-protection consultancy that inspects, certifies and advises on fire safety in buildings — a regulatory-driven, recurring-compliance service model highly analogous to Roslöv's shelter-compliance work, with the same B2B property-owner customer base and recurring-service revenue orientation.
• Safe at Work / Arbetsmiljöverket-Authorized Safety Consultants: Swedish authorised safety consultants conduct recurring workplace and building safety inspections for property owners under Swedish regulations. They share Roslöv's regulatory-driven recurring service model and target customer base (Swedish property owners and municipalities), though their remit is broader workplace safety rather than civil-protection shelters specifically.
