SMT Expertis AB

What SMT Expertis AB does

SMT Expertis AB operates as SMT Radio (legal entity SMT Medieproduktion AB, Swedish private limited company, corporate registration 556955-8876) and is a Stockholm-based professional audio production studio founded in 2007. Headquartered at Ringvägen 88 in Stockholm with an additional address on Lundagatan, the firm employs 11-50 people and produces commissioned audio content including podcasts, radio programs, audio documentaries, audio book narration, and sound design.

The company operates a professional recording studio with recording, editing, mixing, and sound design capabilities, offering five core service lines: Ljudproduktion (full-service audio production), Studio Rental with technician support, Inläsningar (audio book/narration), Ljudläggning (sound design and post-production), and Signaturpaket (branded audio identity packages). Production output spans approximately 30+ active or recent productions covering investigative documentaries, economic journalism, sports programming, true crime, history, education, and branded corporate content.

Revenue is generated exclusively through a professional services model: production fees for commissioned audio content and studio rental fees. Customer concentration centers on Sveriges Radio (the Swedish public broadcaster), with ongoing commissions across P1, P2, and P4 channels, supplemented by exclusive production partnerships with PodMe and Naudio for podcast platforms, branded content for sports organizations (SHL, AIK Fotboll), and select international work including BBC World Service. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct commissioned relationships, with marketing primarily through an online portfolio on smtradio.se and Instagram rather than active demand-generation campaigns.

Direct peers

• UR (Utbildningsradion): Swedish public educational broadcaster that produces significant original audio and radio content, including documentaries and educational series. Comparable as a Swedish public-sector audio commissioning and production entity.
• Munck Studios: Family-connected Swedish audio production house explicitly listed on SMT Radio's website as a 'kusin' (cousin) studio. Operates the same commissioned audio production and studio rental model across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany, making it the closest peer in business model and category.
• PangPang Studios: Swedish podcast and audio production studio producing branded and editorial podcasts for major Nordic brands and broadcasters. Closely comparable to SMT in offering commissioned podcast and audio production to enterprise and media clients.

Emerging players

• Podimo: Danish-headquartered podcast platform operating across Europe, commissioning and producing exclusive podcast content. Comparable as a Nordic podcast platform commissioning originals similar to SMT's work for PodMe and Naudio.

Regional players
