About us

Technical head start with more than 90 years of experience

We are characterised by supplying the things that others cannot, offering everything from fine mechanical components measuring just millimetres up to machine shafts of several metres in length.

However, the most important aspect is not what we produce, but rather how we produce it.

At a time when developments are moving so quickly that we will be producing something completely different within a few years, it is the road to the finished product that is the important thing. Our desire is to develop alongside new technology and to adapt it to fit our particular segment. The way we solve this task always stems from our expertise, methods and the experience we have amassed over more than 90 years. All with the aim of ensuring that, as our customer, you can supply your own world-leading products without ever compromising on quality.

This is what we refer to as Mikro-quality

Two factories, one company

Nowadays we conduct our production in two factories and in three business areas. We have some 50 employees, with 10 in Valskog and just over 40 in Södertälje.

We have had an operation in Södertälje ever since the company was founded. This is now located in our own premises on Hantverksvägen. This is where we develop and produce fine mechanics, tools and transmission components. Our finance and overall administration and marketing services are also located in Södertälje.

Since 2014 we have also had a factory in Valskog, between Arboga and Köping. Here we focus on short lead times in small series, as well as the machining of large 5-shaft items. Our department for long hole drilling is also situated in Valskog. Before we changed our name to Mikroverktyg in Valskog, the company was known as Albins Mekaniska Verkstad.

As a customer, you can contact the relevant unit or go via the head office in Södertälje.

Our business concept

Mikroverktyg will be a leading supplier of tools, high-quality transmission components and advanced mechanical components incorporating Mikro-quality.

Quality and environment

Our quality system is process-oriented and designed to meet both our own requirements for a well-functioning system as well as the requirements of our customers. It is also intended to provide day-to-day assistance in our work. In future it will act as a natural part of our sustainability work.

Mikroverktyg Södertälje is certified in accordance with two quality management systems: SS-EN ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.

Knowledge built on 90 years of experience

Our success story began in 1922, when AB Kugghjul started its factory in Södertälje. In line with the development of new technology, the market had an ever greater need for tools offering levels of precision and quality that people had previously only dreamed about. As a result, Mikroverktyg was launched in 1943, and a few years later we also acquired the gear operation.

Over the years, we have made a number of major acquisitions and developed our capacity, knowledge and methods. The acquisition of SVA Tools, which manufactured its first tools way back in 1896, provided us with a more solid history. Today we also have a manufacturing operation in Valskog, where Albins Mekaniska was integrated in 2014.

Since 2008 we have been part of XANO Industri (publ).

Our concept, and the thing that drives us, is our philosophy of leading the way as regards technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. The desire always to go that little bit further and perform that little bit better, this drives us no matter whether we are talking about technical services, production, verification or following up.

If we don’t have the solution to cope with your product, we make sure that we can resolve the technology and develop the tools or software along the way. This is all achieved via driven and skilled technicians, all of whom are specialists in their field.

Engineers and technicians from larger companies are often pleasantly surprised at the breadth we are able to offer, in the form of technology and our employees’ skills as well as the strength we possess in our extensive range of machinery. This is made possible by the energy, knowledge and flexibility of our skilled employees.

One of the market's broadest offer of precision manufacturing. All in-house.

Project management and participation in products is an increasingly important skill. There is an ongoing trend towards projects becoming larger and larger. The need for continuous communication with our customers’ project teams is a natural part of our working method. From previously having been a separate element, to being the natural approach in our process-governed organisation.

We have switched to a stronger project organisation during 2016, with the aim of clarifying responsibilities, improving project management and monitoring our customers. This is one result of the increasing volume of new projects in various phases and sizes.

Our company possesses historic project expertise, with a mix and breadth that mean that we are always used to working in and being dependent on a constant flow of new projects.

Our preparation staff and technicians can boast a high level of expertise as regards materials and product engineering. Our preparation staff handle a range of parameters, such as choice of manufacturing method, heat treatments, inspection levels and capacity planning, as well as how we manage to make products with the right quality.

Specific CAD/CAM preparation and the programming of our machines are performed by our skilled operators. This is all done with the aim of ensuring extensive expertise, with the best available operators in every location. Greater breadth provides us with greater flexibility, and those who other companies often refer to as “first man engineers” or “production technicians”, we know as operators and specialists. The purpose of all this is to handle a wide range of short production runs and prototype setups.

How can a small company like ours, situated up in the north of Europe, manage year after year to manufacture components with such a high level of precision and at such a technical level. The answer lies in more than 90 years of experience, the expertise of our specialists and our technical knowledge. We are quick, we are flexible and we are constantly adapting to new requirements. Our machines are operated by employees who possess great energy, extensive knowledge and many years of experience. All in a production process governed by projects and customer orders.

And we view every assignment as a new opportunity. We never sit back and feel satisfied with what we have achieved, rather we are always striving to improve in order to reach the next level.

Even though we are project-oriented and manufacture a high proportion of prototypes, low-volume manufacture in small runs is also an important part of our manufacturing operation.

We place one of the market’s most extensive ranges of machinery at your disposal for low-volume manufacture. The basis for our manufacture is production governed by customer orders, which provides our customers with the potential to introduce rapid changes and not to build dual stock for which our customers have to accept responsibility. Even though the basis is governed by customer orders, we offer you stock management if this should prove to be a better solution. And always with common sense as our guiding principle and our way of interpreting Lean.
