Springbreeze AB

What Springbreeze AB does

Springbreeze AB is a privately held Swedish IT and engineering consulting firm founded in autumn 2011 by Joakim Severinsson and Fredrik Andersson, headquartered in Linköping with additional offices in Halmstad and Karlstad/Hammarö. The company sells professional services — not software products — across six interconnected practice areas: systems development (embedded software and hardware/software integration), testing and verification, construction/design using major CAD tools, project management, business development, and quality certification support (including ISO 9001/14001/45001/39001). Engagement models range from individual consultant hours to full turnkey project delivery, executed under a sales-led, direct-to-enterprise go-to-market.

The underlying delivery model relies on a small bench of broad-competence consultants placed at client sites or on remote assignments, with named enterprise customers including Ericsson (telecom test development) and Outokumpu (stainless steel manufacturing construction work in Degerfors). Springbreeze also operates as a competence partner to SIS (Swedish Standards Institute) for standards-based training and consulting. The firm generates revenue purely through consulting fees, with no disclosed product licensing, SaaS, or platform revenue streams.

The company's core technology stack is conventional for an engineering consultancy: modern CAD systems, embedded software development tooling, hardware design tools, and integration/verification frameworks. There are no proprietary AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or software products in the offering. The primary differentiator is cultural — an employee-first operating philosophy explicitly designed to attract and retain talent in an industry the founders perceived as over-indexed on short-term profit at the expense of consultants.

Broad incumbents

• AFRY: Major Swedish engineering consultancy (formerly ÅF) providing engineering, design, and project management across industrial sectors. Overlaps with Springbreeze's construction/design and project management offerings, but AFRY is a large listed incumbent serving global enterprise clients.
• Capgemini Engineering: Global engineering and R&D services arm of Capgemini with embedded systems, mechanical design, testing, and project management offerings. Provides global-scale competition for embedded and CAD talent in Sweden, though serves much larger enterprise contracts.
• Combitech: Swedish technical consulting firm (subsidiary of Saab) with deep defense and industrial customers. Comparable in testing/verification and project management offerings, particularly for defense and telecom clients, but operates at substantially greater scale and with institutional backing.

Direct peers

• Sigma Group: Swedish IT and engineering consultancy delivering software development, embedded solutions, and business consulting. Overlaps with Springbreeze's systems development and business development offerings, though Sigma operates at a much larger scale.
