Brennehylte Storage Systems

What Brennehylte Storage Systems does

BLS AB (Brennehylte Storage Systems) is a Swedish private limited company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Kulltorp, Småland, that designs, manufactures, and installs industrial warehouse storage systems. The company operates its own steel-fabrication factory in Småland, producing pallet racking (Pallställ), warehouse shelving (Lagerhylla), tire racks (Däckställ), timber racks (Virkesställ), long-goods/list racks (Listställ), cantilever racks (Grenställ), mezzanine floors (Entresol), roller conveyors, and a remote-controlled shuttle system. Mobile variants of pallet, shelving, and tire racking are offered as add-ons that can increase storage density up to 90% versus static systems. Products are certified to multiple European standards (SS-EN 15512, 15620, 15629, 15635, 1090, INSTA 251, SS 2241) and the company's cantilever racks carry CE marking.

The company serves enterprise customers across logistics and 3PL (Biltema, PostNord TPL, Elgiganten Logistik, FREJA, Nowaste, Sellpy), automotive and tire services (Bilia, Däckline, Upplands Motor, Ingers Däck, RLL Rad-Lagerlogistik, Jafor), building materials retail (XL-Bygg, Lekolar, Lekia), and manufacturing (Voith, Sesol). Geographic footprint is primarily Sweden with delivered projects in Germany, Belgium, and Estonia via a Baltic dealer. The customer roster includes Sweden's largest single-warehouse delivery to date — 104,000 pallet positions for Biltema's Halmstad facility spanning 81,400 m².

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, professional installation by in-house teams, and recurring annual inspection and service agreements performed by RISE-certified inspectors that extend the 5-year warranty by one year per active year. Go-to-market is predominantly direct field sales with on-site customer visits and full project management under the "BLS Complete" (Projektering) sub-brand, supplemented by an e-commerce storefront (shop.blsab.se) for standard products and a small international dealer network. A 2026 strategic partnership with Weland Solutions adds Compact Lift vertical storage to the product portfolio in Sweden.
