Elovent

What Elovent does

Elovent AB is a Kalmar-based electrical and telecommunications installation services provider, founded in 2015 by Per Jonsson and David Alm and acquired by Instalco in December 2019. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Instalco, the Nordic installation group with roughly 150 subsidiaries and 6,000+ employees across Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Elovent functions as a total supplier (totalleverantör) covering four interconnected service lines: Elservice (electrical service and repairs for residential and commercial properties), Elentreprenad (electrical contracting for larger new-build and renovation projects), Tele/Data/Larm (telecom, data, access control, CCTV, intrusion and fire alarms), and Stortvätt (sales and installation of Podab laundry equipment). The company is brand-independent (märkesoberoende) in its procurement, allowing it to select optimal solutions per project rather than be tied to a single manufacturer.

The business model is professional services revenue, generated through project-based subcontracting with general contractors and developers, direct contracting with municipalities and public housing companies, and direct service work for private individuals and businesses. Pricing is quote-based per project and is not publicly disclosed. Elovent serves three primary customer segments: municipalities and county councils, construction companies and developers (including Hansa Bygg, Dynacon Construction, PEAB, O.G Ohlsson, Åkessons bygg, and developers such as Riksbyggen and CA Fastigheter), and private individuals. The geographic footprint is concentrated in Kalmar County, with offices in Kalmar (Flottiljv\u00e4gen 14) and Nybro (Herkulesv\u00e4gen 10), Sweden.

Go-to-market relies primarily on local reputation, project references, and partnering relationships with general contractors and municipalities. As an Instalco subsidiary, Elovent cross-sells with sister companies such as Calmarsunds VVS and Avent to deliver multi-discipline projects, an approach exemplified by the Varvsholmen waterfront and Callmare F\u00e4stning residential developments. The company has approximately 33 employees as of April 2021, with leadership under CEO David Alm (appointed April 2021) and ongoing integration into Instalco's broader sustainability and certification framework (Milj\u00f6byggnad, H\u00e5llbarhetsklassat Instalcoprojekt). Notable reference projects include Tumlaren (86 apartments), Blickf\u00e5nget (64 apartments), Varvsholmen (48 and 18 apartments), Callmare F\u00e4stning (31 apartments), and SB Linn\u00e8 (60-apartment care home).
