Tält och Montage AB

What Tält och Montage AB does

Tält & Montage AB is a privately held, founder-owned Swedish event and temporary-structure rental company headquartered in Skara, Västra Götaland, and serving customers across all of Sweden. Founded in 1995 by Joachim Wahlström as a one-person operation with a single product, it has grown into what it describes as one of Sweden's largest rental providers of event and party equipment, organized around four revenue streams: event equipment rental (tents, flooring, furniture, linens, stages, barriers, lighting, heating, sanitation, bars, cloakrooms), construction and industrial temporary-structure rental (notably warehouse halls), qualified personnel staffing (truck, forklift, scaffolding-certified labor for logistics, snow removal, sweeping, gardening, and cleaning), and professional tent and canvas washing services at 15 SEK/sqm.

The company's underlying "technology" is a physical asset and labor platform rather than a software product. Its proprietary or differentiating operational elements include in-house assemblers, assembly managers, and tent technicians; SRVFS 1995:1 approval certificates for assembly tents (a regulatory requirement for serving public-assembly events); and specialized PVC washing machinery capable of cleaning tent canvases of varied shapes, including chain lists and rubber bands. The product catalog spans sectional tents in widths from 3m to 20m, pyramid and zip tents, multiple flooring types (plastic, wood, needle-felt, dance floors), banquet/seating furniture, mobile and tent stages, barrier systems, electric distribution and lighting, gas and electric heating up to 85kW, portable sanitation, custom-built bars, and cloakroom infrastructure.

Tält & Montage's business model is direct rental with quote-based, per-event pricing — "no standard solutions, every customer is unique." It uses an enterprise field-sales motion combined with referral-driven acquisition through long-tenured customers (e.g., Matfestivalen i Skövde for ~20 years, Törebodafestivalen). Notable enterprise clients include Cementa AB (HeidelbergCement), LKAB, SAAB, Husqvarna, Försvarsmakten, and various Swedish municipalities and universities. The company has been recognized as Entrepreneur of the Year in Skara (2015, Företagarna), operates without disclosed external funding, and is led by founder Joachim Wahlström with a small core team of field staff (Putte Gullberg, Jonathan Andersson) plus back-office support. Marketing is limited to its website (taltomontage.se) and Instagram/Facebook social channels under the #tältomontage hashtag.
