What Nomo does

Nomo is a Swedish-headquartered industrial bearings and mechanical power-transmission distributor serving the Nordic region. Founded in 1948 and headquartered in Täby near Stockholm/Arlanda, the company operates 21+ locations across the Nordics with 220+ employees and describes itself as the largest independent importer and bearings specialist in the region. It is a subsidiary of the privately held industrial group Axel Johnson International, which reports group revenue exceeding 14 billion DKK.

Nomo functions as a multibrand industrial components specialist, representing a broad portfolio of premium manufacturers including NSK, Timken, Schaeffler/FAG/INA, NTN, Bosch Rexroth, Festo, and THK. Its product offering spans ball and roller bearings, seals, power transmission components, linear technology, pneumatics, and maintenance products, and is delivered alongside engineering/CAD support, bearing repair, industrial service, training, and condition monitoring. Recent strategic activity has expanded the scope of the business: the company acquired S.E. Lodéns Industrimontage AB in February 2022 to add on-site mounting services and acquired the Bosch Rexroth Customizing Center in November 2025 to bring customization for linear guides, ball screws, and automation components in-house.

The business model is B2B industrial distribution with quote-based pricing and an online portal requiring login. Nomo serves both OEM and MRO customers across steel and metals, pulp and paper, forestry, aerospace and defense, mining, food and beverage, agriculture, automation, marine and offshore, energy, construction, and rail. It holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and offers One-Day-Delivery for ball screws and linear guides in Europe, with sub-brands Nomo Automation, Nomo Industrial Service, and Top Sealing Partner providing category-specific go-to-market structures.
