What SOLSERV does

Solserv AB, operating as "Solserv by Duniform," is a Sweden-based provider of circular-economy solutions that combines composting equipment, food packaging systems, and professional cooking equipment into an integrated "table-to-soil" offering. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Nyvång, Åstorp, the company manufactures the GG-series of composting machines (8 models from 5 kg/day household units to 1,350 kg/day industrial systems) that use effective microorganisms to convert food waste into nutrient-rich compost in 24 hours, and distributes Reepack packaging machinery (vacuum chamber, tray sealer, flow wrap, thermoforming) and Norqi cooking equipment in the Nordic market. The firm also offers compostable food packaging (bagasse, paper, RPET, PP trays), sealing films, recurring service contracts, and the Solserv Academy training program.

Solserv monetizes through a hybrid model: one-time hardware sales of composting and packaging machines, recurring monthly service agreements (5-10% spare-parts discount, fixed monthly pricing, scheduled maintenance), and repeat-purchase consumables (trays, films, lids). Go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by a direct sales and service team in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, supplemented by trade-show presence (IFFA Frankfurt, WasteExpo Las Vegas) and channel relationships with Reepack and Norqi. The firm serves food service and hospitality (Radisson Blu, Fotografiska, Orbaden Spa), food retail (ICA Maxi Hyllinge), institutions, food processing/manufacturing, and private households.

As a brand within Duni Group's Duniform business area — a NASDAQ Stockholm-listed parent with 40+ markets and 75+ years of experience — Solserv benefits from corporate backing, supply-chain scale, and cross-sell opportunities, while participating in the EU-funded Power Bio project with Lund University for compost-biochar R&D. The company is recognized with the Åstorp Sustainability Award 2020 and is referenced by customers including a Green Michelin Star recipient (Fotografiska Stockholm).
