The business group AxLoad comprises more than 30 companies specialised in steel wire ropes, lifting and cargo securing solutions for industry. Today the AxLoad business group has annual sales of EUR 350 million and operations in 19 countries.

Certex is a leading provider of steel wire ropes and lifting equipment for customers within the manufacturing, energy and maritime industries in Europe. With the acquisition of Klätterteknik, Certex in Sweden adds unique skills and expertise in industrial rope access to its service portfolio.

”We have successfully combined our heavy lifting solutions and services within fall protection and rope access services in other European markets and we are very happy to extend our services similarly also in Sweden. Klätterteknik is an extraordinarily fine company and the two teams will be able to leverage on their joint expertise in further developing safe workplaces at our installations”, says Martin Malmvik, CEO and President of Axel Johnson International.
