What Krets Consulting Group AB does

Krets Consulting Group AB is a privately held Swedish technical consulting firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Västerås, with additional regional coverage in Arboga, Karlskoga, and Örebro. The company operates with approximately 13 employees and delivers two integrated service lines: Konsulttjänster (Consulting Services), which places technical specialists at client sites, and Inhouse-utveckling (In-house Development), which executes complete product development projects from concept through industrialization at the Västerås facility. It serves technology-intensive customers across electronics, embedded systems, software (C/C++), mechanics, and testing, with capabilities spanning power electronics, analog/digital design, RF, PCB layout, FPGA, and mechanical design. The in-house laboratory supports prototyping, verification, measurement, pre-compliance testing, and troubleshooting, and consultants reference ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 26262 process competencies, indicating exposure to regulated verticals such as medical devices and automotive functional safety.

The business model is a sales-led, direct B2B professional services model. Revenue is generated through negotiated consulting fees for placed specialists and project-based fees for in-house development engagements, with multi-year contracts and quote-based pricing. The go-to-market is direct, with regional managers (Robin Karlsson for Västerås; Alexander Norberg, who also serves as CEO/VD, for Örebro) engaging clients without channel partners. Marketing relies on the company website (krets.nu), LinkedIn, and a Teamtailor-powered career site used both for recruitment and demand generation. Customers are unnamed in the source material, but are described as manufacturing firms, defense industry clients, and technology companies requiring specialized engineering expertise for product development and R&D projects. The company is a Swedish Aktiebolag with no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Acquisitions, mergers, restructuring, and substantive leadership changes are not reported in the available data.
