Kemp Industries Ab

What Kemp Industries Ab does

Kemp Industries Ab is a privately held Swedish protective packaging and corrosion control company headquartered in Malmö with a postal address in Oxie, Sweden. The company designs and delivers tailor-made protective covers, shrink-wrapping services for boats, vehicles and industrial equipment, transport packaging solutions, and a proprietary ProGARDO corrosion inhibitor product line based on a VCI+ (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) formula. ProGARDO, when combined with the company's Premium Virgin shrink plastic, is positioned to provide up to five years of corrosion protection for electrical cabinets, PLC cabinets, mechanical equipment, and spare parts.

The business serves four primary customer segments: boat and vehicle owners, industrial sector companies, military customers, and private individuals, with stated end-use applications spanning seasonal storage, equipment preservation, transit protection, and corrosion mitigation. The company markets and sells through direct engagement via a trilingual (Swedish, Danish, English) website, and holds a Quality Certified Partner designation from Kvalitetspartner. Operations are concentrated in Sweden and Denmark.

The revenue model is project-based and transactional: protective covers and shrink-wrapping services are sold as one-time engagements, and ProGARDO is sold as a chemical product, with all pricing conducted on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis rather than through subscription or recurring contracts. The company is founder-led, with Samuel Kemp serving as CEO (VD), operates with 1-10 employees, and has not disclosed any external funding, M&A activity, or partnership agreements in the available data.
