Facts about us

Broströms shipping company started Scanunit in the 1960s. In 1988 the separate limited company Scanunit AB was founded in Gothenburg. The company had five owners, including current CEO Per Ekelund, a former employee at Broströms. The newly established Scanunit’s mission was to offer help in solving problems for the shipping business.

In 1995 Per Ekelund took over the majority and the headquarters was moved to Helsingborg. Today Per Ekelund owns 33 percent of Scanunit AB, Martin Nilsson 3 percent and the remaining 64 percent is owned by the Ahlmark Lines AB (read more at www.ahlmarks.se).

Scanunit has had a steady growth since it started in 1988. The first year the company had a turnover of 1.8 million SEK, twenty years later turnover was 96 million SEK. Last year the turnover exceeded 100 million SEK for the first time. At the start Scanunit had one employee and hired four, today we are 50 colleagues plus 130 temporary employees.

Over the years business has expanded, and we are now Scandinavia’s leading provider of complete solutions in lifting and maintenance for industry and shipping. Our customers don’t have to have multiple suppliers - Scanunit offers the whole package. This provides, inter alia, lower environmental impact and higher cost efficiency.
