Preparedness and business continuity are becoming increasingly important issues for companies in a more complex and electrified society. At Holtab, we have taken the next step in strengthening our resilience. The ability to switch to island mode at the factory in Tingsryd is one of several ways to safeguard operations even in the event of disruptions.

From cross-country skiing to biathlon and on to a Vasaloppet victory in 2025 – we’ve followed Stina Nilsson’s journey. Now she’s back in Tingsryd, meeting some of our friends in the film series Holtab & Friends. Conversations, people and dreams in focus. Join us!

Working at Holtab should be sustainable. Here, employees are seen and can grow over the long term.
“Good leadership is about trust and presence,” says Holtab’s CEO, Michael Fohlin.

When Dala Energi upgraded its power grid, they chose a prefabricated distribution substation from Holtab. The result? Shorter build time, lower costs and higher quality. Here, project manager Lars Jonsson shares more about the project.

Holtab’s distribution stations are based on an innovative way of working: they are built in a factory environment and supplied to the customer fully tested and ready for use. Three of these stations were delivered to Kraftringen.

In cooperation with Schneider and NRGi, Holtab delivered a complete mobile station with switchgear and control equipment.

We offer complete solutions from leading suppliers of compact secondary substation (CSS) automation. As such, they are equipped with a central RTU/PLC unit and the number of I/O units, indicators, remote communication equipment and power supply/UPS required to meet your exact needs.

Holtab’s business development manager Peter Ackebjer is one of many people in the industry looking ahead for the opportunities offered by tomorrow’s power grid. After all, we are in the midst of a historical transformation.

Holtab had identified a gap in its product range as regards switchgear for the construction and industry segment. They contacted a former business partner and ran an innovative development project which ultimately led to market-adapted service switchgear called HMSI.

European Energy AS now operates 65 onshore wind farms and 29 solar parks in Denmark. Together they generate clean energy to meet the needs of more than 370,000 Danish consumers. Holtab has been an appreciated partner for many years.

When successful racing team Cyan Racing built new premises, they also made sure to boost the capacity of their engine tests.

In the past, customers simply ordered a standard station on the basis of their needs. Today’s approach is rather different. They are going for long-term agreements which already cover a functionality and technology fully prepared for the expected requirements of tomorrow’s systems.

Bro Galopp enjoyed its first race meet on 1 June 2016, a little over two years after construction of the racecourse began. Holtab’s products operate behind the scenes to guarantee a reliable power supply.

Holtab’s distribution stations have been described as an innovative project in which they are built in a factory environment and supplied fully tested and ready for use. Our collaboration with E.ON Elnät has led to further optimisation of these procedures.

Vattenfall Elanläggningar AB has been a business partner of Holtab for many years, with a record of several successful projects. One project, which started in autumn 2014 and still ongoing, concerns the delivery of mobile transformer stations that Vattenfall Elanläggningar offers its end customers.

The new regulatory requirements imposed by the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate (Ei) mean that grid operators must secure themselves against shorter outages. Öresundskraft opted to invest in two mobile distribution stations to be on the safe side.

When Emballator decided to install an additional painting line, an existing transformer stood in the way, and in any case greater low-voltage capacity was needed. The solution was to place stations outside the building and make holes in the wall.
