Bengtssons Maskin

What Bengtssons Maskin does

Bengtssons Maskin AB is a Swedish industrial distribution and light-assembly company founded in 1913 in Arlöv, Sweden, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the publicly listed Indutrade group. The company specializes in mechanical power transmission components and systems, organized into three capability areas: Heavy Duty (slew drives, slewing rings, gearboxes and motors, couplings, hydraulic rotary actuators, cardan shafts, mounting shims, hydraulic clamping elements, hydraulic motors, and racks), Precision (cycloidal precision gears and actuators, direct drives, indexing tables, linear guides, linear conveyors, lubrication-free rack-and-ring systems, gear wheels, ETP hydraulic clamping, screw jacks, specialty screws, miniature couplings, and chains), and Sourcing (managed procurement of custom-manufactured components such as gears, turned parts, milled parts, and castings via a global supplier network). The company distributes products from a roster of globally leading manufacturers (Rossi, SPINEA, ETP, IMO, Vulkan, Parker Hannifin, RENK, Gambini, Nexen, Franke, UNIMEC, NBK, Regina, Eckart, CDS) and provides in-house application engineering, customization in its Arlöv workshop, and CAD support.

The business sells almost exclusively through direct field sales, with country-specific sales engineers covering Götaland, Svealand, and Norrland in Sweden plus dedicated coverage for Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Poland. Inside-sales and digital channels (quote forms, phone/chat 08:00–16:30, email, digital meeting booking, and downloadable CAD files via the company website) supplement the field force, and the company participates in Nordic industry events such as Elmia Automation and Euro Expo. Pricing is quote-based across the catalog, with no public price list; relationships span machine builders (concept-to-installation support) and end-user industrial operators (spare parts and maintenance supply).

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of distributed components, augmented by sourcing services for custom-manufactured parts and by tailored electric drive packages combining Rossi iFit technology with IMO slew drives. The company is ISO 9001 certified, employs approximately 22 people, and operates a single headquarters/assembly facility at Företagsvägen 14, Arlöv. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.

Comparable as a large industrial power-transmission company whose product lines overlap heavily with what Bengtssons distributes, and whose broader portfolio includes competing direct-sales channels to OEMs.
• Indutrade AB: Parent company and Sweden's largest industrial components/systems distributor. Indutrade operates a decentralized group of niche technical distributors across the Nordics and beyond — directly comparable business model (industrial B2B distribution of technical components) but at much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• ERIKS N.V. Dutch-headquartered industrial components distributor (now part of Shrieve) serving European industrial customers with flow control, sealing, and power transmission products. Comparable as a multi-country European industrial distributor serving machine builders and end-users.
• Axel Johnson International: Swedish privately-held industrial group owning multiple technical component distributors across Europe. Comparable as a Nordic industrial distribution platform with similar decentralized niche-distributor structure.
• Nord Drivesystems: German manufacturer of gear units, electric motors, and drive electronics with strong presence in Northern Europe. Comparable as an industrial drive supplier whose product portfolio overlaps with Bengtssons' gearboxes/motors offering to machine builders.
• SEW-Eurodrive: Global manufacturer of drive technology, gearmotors, electronics, and mechatronic systems. Comparable as a supplier of overlapping industrial power-transmission products (gearboxes, drives) that Bengtssons' customers also evaluate, though SEW is a manufacturer rather than a distributor.

Others
