Jokrab Automatikbyggnad

What Jokrab Automatikbyggnad does

JOKRAB Automatikbyggnad AB is a small Swedish industrial automation specialist founded in 1987 and headquartered in Hamburgsund, Västra Götaland county. The company designs, builds, tests, and documents fully customized automation systems — including PLC/HMI programming, electrical control cabinets, pneumatic systems, CAD-based 3D design, and explosion-protected (Ex-rated) solutions — for four regulated industries: pharmaceutical manufacturing, offshore and oil, food processing, and water and sewerage (VA). Its solutions integrate with customers' higher-level supervisory systems via OPC UA, and are delivered with comprehensive documentation packages tailored to meet GMP, ATEX/IECEx, and UL 508A certification requirements, making them suitable for environments subject to regulatory audits.

The firm operates a sales-led, project-based business model with revenue derived primarily from one-off custom construction contracts, complemented by recurring technical documentation and support services. Sales cycles range from weeks to months depending on Ex-classification complexity, with pricing established through feasibility studies and detailed quotations rather than published rates. Delivery teams are small — approximately 8-10 employees including the CEO, Finance Manager, mechanical assemblers, and electrical assemblers — and the company leverages a network of technology and component partners rather than scaling headcount.
