Revenue model

1. Grid Substation Sales: KL Industri generates the majority of its revenue through the manufacture and sale of grid substations (nätstationer) in steel and concrete for medium-voltage networks. These are sold as standard products or custom-built solutions to electricity grid operators, industrial clients, and infrastructure projects across the Nordic region.
2. Switchgear, Transformers, and Enclosures: Sales of complementary products including switchgear (such as unerRING and AirPacT), transformers (via Møre Trafo partnership), and electrical enclosures for grid connections, solar farms, and wind power installations.
3. Project and Custom Solutions: Custom-designed project solutions tailored to specific customer requirements, from quotation through delivery and commissioning. Revenue from commercial project management and tailored engineering.
4. Service and Maintenance: Service offering including service issue registration, maintenance support, and after-sales service for installed grid infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: Global leader in electrification and motion with a broad portfolio of medium-voltage switchgear, substations, and protection systems. Comparable as a major competitor and incumbent in the same T&D equipment category KL Industri serves, though with much wider scope and international footprint.
• Siemens: Diversified industrial conglomerate with a significant smart infrastructure portfolio including medium-voltage switchgear and substation automation. Competes broadly in the same equipment category, with a much larger R&D and global scale.
• Schneider Electric: KL Industri's strategic partner via Møre Electric Group and a major supplier of SF6-free RMU switchgear (integrated into KL stations). Competitor-adjacent with overlapping SF6-free switchgear products and broader portfolio across electrical distribution.
• Hitachi Energy: Major global supplier of T&D equipment including switchgear, transformers, and substation solutions. Directly comparable as a competing supplier of MV/LV substation equipment to European utilities and DSOs.

Regional players

• VEO: Finnish manufacturer of electrical substations, switchgear, and drives. Closely comparable as a Nordic regional substation specialist competing for similar DSO and industrial customers in Finland and Sweden.
• Eltel Networks: Nordic-based infrastructure service provider building and maintaining power distribution networks. Comparable as a Nordic infrastructure player working with the same DSOs, though focused on build/installation rather than substation manufacturing.
• OneCo: Norwegian infrastructure services company delivering substation and electrical infrastructure projects across the Nordics. Comparable as a Nordic substation delivery peer serving similar utility customers.

Direct peers

• Eaton: Global power management company with a strong medium-voltage switchgear and substation equipment portfolio. Directly competes with KL Industri in supplying DSOs and industrial customers across Europe, including in SF6-free product lines.
