About Malux

The Malux corporate group was founded as El-Centralen in 1961 by Helmut Schulze with a focus on electrical installations. Through contacts with West Germany and the former DDR, the company succeeded in obtaining agencies in areas such as explosion protection, pipe post, underwater lighting and speed measurement.

Malux Elektro AB was formed with a focus on import and export. A few years later, the first subsidiary in Finland was founded in 1979: Oy Scan Malux AB. At about the same time, branch offices and warehouses in Trelleborg became available for rational contacts with the continent and the rest of the world.

Jörgen Schulze joined the company in 1977 and subsequently bought the shares from his father in 1982. For the Norwegian offshore market, representation was required on site and Malux Norge A / S was formed.

The time was right to expand the sales program with telecom products, so the company Telemekano AB in Stockholm was bought and added as a subsidiary with the name Malux Telemekano AB.

In 1989, Malux signed an agreement with ABB, which meant that ABB would stop selling explosion-protected equipment in Västerås. The entire warehouse and the general agency were transferred to Malux in Örnsköldsvik. Malux Elektro AB strengthened its sales organization with new branch offices in the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions.

The subsidiary Malux Data AB was founded in 1990 in order for the group of companies to be complete in accordance with the business concept: electricity, telecommunications and data products. Malux Data focuses on sales, service, complete system solutions with computers and other computer products.

In 1999, an agreement was signed with Allgon regarding the distribution of antennas in Scandinavia.

In the summer of 2006, Malux in Sweden took the step towards becoming an even more efficient and accessible company by merging Malux Elektro AB and Malux Tele AB into a pure sales and distribution company Malux Sweden AB.

During the autumn of 2007, Accenta AB was purchased. Accenta's range of emergency lighting means that the Malux group now has the market's widest range of emergency lighting.

In 2011, the decision was made to refine the Malux group. Malux Data is acquired by an international IT company. The Malux Group focuses on the core business within Industry / Ex, Lighting and Communication. We open our new office in Finland.

In 2012, Malux celebrates 40 years in the electricity industry. During the year we inaugurated our newly renovated offices in Stockholm and Örnsköldsvik.
