What Elpro does
Elpro i Alingsås AB is a Swedish industrial automation specialist headquartered in Alingsås, Sweden, that designs and manufactures custom electrical enclosures, control cabinets, and complete control systems for machine builders and industrial operators. Founded in 1970, the company has operated for nearly half a century under a craftsmanship-led identity and serves customers across manufacturing, marine, offshore, mining, energy, and renewable industries, with machine builders identified as the primary customer segment and international customers supplementing the predominantly Nordic client base.
The company's core capabilities span mechanical and electrical design via its proprietary ElproCAD tool, brand-agnostic PLC programming across Siemens, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, and Mitsubishi platforms, and automated assembly housed in a 3,400 sqm production facility equipped with Rittal automated cable processing. Quality and environmental management are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Elpro operates as an engineered-to-order Tier 2/Tier 3 supplier, meaning each deliverable is specified and built per project rather than sold as a standardized catalog product.
Elpro generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts for custom-engineered electrical and control systems, with pricing driven by specification, complexity, and volume. Since 2021 the company has been progressively integrated into Sustainion Group AB, which completed 100% ownership in 2025, positioning Elpro as a focused specialist within a broader industrial automation platform. With approximately 20 employees, Elpro runs as a compact, technically driven unit rather than a high-volume manufacturer, and its growth path is tied to capacity utilization at the Alingsås facility, OEM partnerships, and the strategic direction set by Sustainion.
