Alfakomp

What Alfakomp does

Alfakomp AB is a privately held Swedish industrial distributor founded in 2005 by Bengt Borg and Stefan Nybergh, both long-standing veterans of the dissolved Boo Instrument AB. The company is headquartered in Jordbro, south of Stockholm, where it operates a sales office, spare-parts warehouse, and certified service workshop. It distributes a catalog of gas analysis instruments, stationary and portable gas alarm systems, gas leak detectors, water-analysis equipment, and fluid/pipeline components, sourced exclusively from specialized European manufacturers (KIMESSA in Switzerland, Monicon Technology in Ireland, MRU in Germany, and Walther Präzision plus several minor partners in Germany). Its core technology stack spans NDIR and electrochemical sensors, catalytic/pellistor and zirconium-oxide sensors, semiconductor and PID detectors, with communications via CANBUS, MODBUS, and 4-20 mA. Several product families carry ATEX zone classifications for explosive atmospheres, SIL2 functional-safety certification, IP65 ingress protection, and the QAL1 certification per EN15267-1, 2, 4 that enables QAL2 / AST emission-monitoring work.

The firm generates revenue from one-time equipment sales, recurring service and maintenance contracts on installed gas-alarm and gas-analysis hardware, and billable calibration services. GTM is direct, sales-led enterprise field sales into Swedish industrial customers across verticals such as process industry, parking garages, biogas and syngas plants, refrigeration and cold storage, laboratories, and emission-monitored combustion sites. Distribution is single-country (Sweden), with no disclosed operations or partners outside the Nordic region.

The business model rests on three pillars: (i) sole or preferred distribution rights in Sweden for niche European OEM brands that lack their own local presence; (ii) pre-sales application engineering and custom gas-analysis system integration built in-house; and (iii) post-sales service, calibration, and spare-parts support from the Jordbro workshop. The team is small, between 4 and 10 employees, anchored by the two founders and two long-tenured staff (Helena Bengtsson in inside sales since 2006, Pontus Andersson as service manager since 2013).
