What Kaj Johansson Hauling does

Kaj Johansson Åkeri AB is a family-owned, third-generation transport, environmental, and contracting group headquartered in Vännäsby, Västerbotten, Sweden, founded in 1960. The group operates across three integrated business areas: Mark & Anläggning (civil engineering and contracting including road, water/sewage, demolition, and wind farm works), Täkt & Maskin (quarrying and machine services from three owned sites including Hålberget and Starrberget), and Transport & Logistik (fuel, feed, biomass, hook-lift, and construction logistics with ~50 trucks). It is complemented by subsidiary Allmiljö (since 2013, ~200+ Mkr revenue), which handles sludge and sanitation across 27 municipalities, and a new dedicated contracting subsidiary Kaj Johansson Entreprenad AB established August 2026.

The company generates revenue through project-based contracting (civil works), unit-priced material sales (crushed rock, macadam, sand, topsoil sold per tonne via an online Skrappy/Klarna ordering platform), per-trip transport fees, and long-term municipal waste collection contracts. It serves both public sector clients (municipalities of Umeå, Vännäs, Skellefteå, plus VAKIN waste/water utility) and private industrial customers (SCA Munksund, Skelleftebränslen, Fodercentralen, Ragn-Sells, Implenia, Balticgruppen, NCC, PEAB). The group operates ~225 employees across offices in Vännäsby, Umeå, and Skellefteå, with a fleet of 300+ vehicles and three active quarries, delivering approximately 500 Mkr in annual group revenue. Its primary defensibility comes from integrated service delivery, in-house aggregate supply, multi-decade customer relationships, and regulatory assets including a 30-year quarry permit and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications.
