Load Indicator System AB

What Load Indicator System AB does

Load Indicator System AB (LISAB) is a privately held Swedish industrial-measurement-sensor distributor and systems integrator headquartered in Askim, Gothenburg. Founded in 2007, the company operates a 7-employee operation that aggregates the product lines of 18+ international sensor manufacturers—FUTEK, MicroStrain by HBK, MANNER Sensortelemetrie, Vigor Technology, Gantner Instruments, Mantracourt, Micro-Measurements (Vishay), Texense, NCTE, Lorenz Messtechnik, MicroControl, XSENSOR, ATESTEO, LTT, Bridge Diagnostics, HPM, Industrifil, and nemione—into a single Nordic point of access. Its catalog centers on force sensors (load cells, S-beam, compression), torque sensors (static, rotating, telemetry-based), displacement sensors (LVDT, draw-wire, capacitive), inertial sensors (AHRS, IMU/VR, GNSS/INS, MRU), inclinometers (MEMS, servo, dynamic), strain gauges and accessories, signal-conditioning amplifiers, and modular wireless DAQ systems, supplemented by LISAB-branded proprietary products including LISAB-EXWIRE explosion-proof wire displacement sensors and LISAB-WIRE-XS miniature string potentiometers, plus third-party and in-house calibration services.

The offering is positioned around precision measurement of load, force, torque, pressure, displacement, and orientation in harsh industrial environments, with explicit references to automotive/hybrid-drivetrain testing, robotics, mobile robotics, precision agriculture, structural/aerospace safety analysis, medical device testing, pharmaceutical research, and process/quality-control monitoring. Core technologies include wireless telemetry (Mantracourt T24, MicroStrain wireless nodes, NEMIONE modules), high-temperature amplifier design (Texense XN4, FUTEK IAA300), magnetostriction-based torque sensing (NCTE), and DAQ platforms (Gantner Q.series X). LISAB also offers custom-engineered sensors tailored to specific load ranges, dimensions, and hazardous-environment certifications (e.g., double-bridge compression force sensors for redundant circuits).

LISAB generates revenue through a hardware-sales model with consultative B2B engagement: customers configure a quote cart on lisab.se, specify requirements, and receive a custom quote rather than transactional pricing. Distribution is direct across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, with selective worldwide accounts. Pricing is project/quote-based; the company provides sensor selection guidance, measurement-system configuration, calibration, and limited custom manufacturing as part of the offering. There are no publicly disclosed revenue figures, funding events, acquisitions, or parent-subsidiary structures, and the company appears independently owned under Swedish jurisdiction (registration 556730-5965).
