What K VENT does

K Vent AB is a privately held Swedish ventilation solutions company headquartered in Lund, Sweden, founded in 1998. The firm provides end-to-end ventilation and indoor climate services to construction and building projects across southern Sweden, focusing on the Lund region and surrounding market. Its service portfolio spans four integrated offerings: calculation and solution proposals (Kalkyl och lösningsförslag), ventilation design and engineering (Konstruktion) using AutoCAD and Revit, general contractor installation (Entreprenad), and aftermarket service and energy efficiency (Service och eftermarknad) covering maintenance, adjustment, and mandatory OVK compliance inspections.

The company operates a project-based professional services model with regional direct sales targeting construction firms and building owners. Engineering work leverages standard industry CAD tools (AutoCAD and Revit); the firm does not develop proprietary technology platforms, software, or AI-driven capabilities. Service delivery covers the full asset lifecycle from early-stage cost estimation and design through installation as general contractor to ongoing maintenance, with multi-year maintenance contracts supplementing one-off project revenue. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is limited to a company website and light social media presence.

The firm employs 11–16 people (website states 16+), executes 100+ projects annually, and operates as an unbacked private limited company (AB) with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds. CEO Niclas Håkansson, who has led the firm since founding, oversees a four-person senior team covering bidding/construction (Henrik Samuelson), service/aftermarket (Jonas Persson), and finance/administration (Nina Vilhelmsson).
