ABOUT US
Quality & service since 1946
Our skilled employees in combination with sustained experience and delivery dependability make us a reliable overall partner in hydraulic systems. Quality in product and service – always with the customer in focus – has been our hallmark since 1946.
From harrow to hydraulic cylinder
Edvin Larssons Mekaniska AB (ELMAB) was founded in Sweden in 1946. In the mid-1960s, ELMAB began manufacturing hydraulic cylinders – which would prove to be a success factor. The business expanded markedly over the following years with numerous developments and acquisitions.
In 2023, ELMAB brought in Grönskär Gruppen AB as a growth partner and co-owner, with the aim of expanding and developing the company further. ELMAB continues to be family run by the fourth-generation descendant of founder Edvin Larsson: CEO Fredrik Bertils.
Our business concept & vision
Our business concept is to supply our clients with high-quality hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic components. Quality in product, delivery and service has been our hallmark for many years and something that we constantly work to maintain and develop. Our vision is to be a world leader in the manufacture of hydraulic systems and hydraulic components for niche markets. With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, we will develop our range to remain the best on the market.

We actively work with environmental and sustainability issues with a focus on continuous improvement and measurability. For us, it is also important to ensure a work environment where employees are given the opportunity for well-being and personal growth. Please read more about this work in our policies below.

Proud investors in the future
We are proud, not only of our employees, our heritage and our long customer relationships – but also of our local area. As a major employer in a small town, we feel a responsibility for the local development. For us, an active participation in community associations is important, which is why we sponsor over 20 different local associations, mainly focused on children and youth. That the whole vicinity should thrive and share in our success is a matter of course for us. Below is a description of how ELMAB works with sponsorships:
Dala-Järna IK, Hulåns IF, Nås IF, Äppelbo AIK and Vansbro AIK are four examples of historic sports associations that form the backbone of sports life in Västerdalarna – our immediate vicinity within the Swedish province Dalarna. Each of these clubs has a long tradition of creating commitment and community through their respective sports, including football, ice hockey, skiing and other sports. They offer a place where children, young people and adults can grow, develop and create meaningful experiences together.
ELMAB sponsors these associations because we see them as invaluable pillars in the local community. Their activities contribute not only to physical health, but also to building strong, cohesive and active communities. By supporting local sports associations, we want to be part of this positive force and contribute to creating opportunities for everyone to participate in sports and community. Our sponsorship is an investment in the future, where we work together with the clubs to promote an active and healthy lifestyle in our region.
ELMAB is pleased to be able to sponsor individual elite efforts, such as our current support for skier Moa Ilar and biathlete Alfred Eriksson. We believe in the power of supporting talent who demonstrate exceptional dedication, discipline and drive, and who serve as role models both on and off the competition arena.
Moa Ilar is a prominent cross-country skier from Västerdalarna, known for her endurance, strength and technical skill in the track. She has established herself as one of Sweden’s most promising skiers, with several impressive placings in national and international competitions. Moa’s passion for skiing and her quest to reach the top inspires us, and by sponsoring her we want to contribute to her continued development and success.
Alfred Eriksson is a skilled biathlete who combines precision and speed in a way that has taken him to the very top of his sport. With his sharp eye, quick reactions and mental strength, Alfred has proven to be one of Sweden’s most promising young biathletes. His dedication to training and competition, as well as his ambition to achieve international success, make him a perfect ambassador for the values that we at ELMAB stand for.
By supporting Moa Ilar and Alfred Eriksson, ELMAB hopes to not only contribute to their individual successes, but also inspire more young people in our region to invest in their dreams and strive towards reaching their full potential. Our sponsorship of elite ventures is a way of demonstrating our commitment to promoting success and development, both locally and nationally.
We are proud sponsors of local ice hockey club Leksands IF. Our sponsorship is not only an investment in the sport, but also in our society.
Sports associations like Leksands IF offer young people a place to develop, learn teamwork and build self-esteem. They also create a platform for community building where people of all ages can come together and share their passion for the sport. By sponsoring the team, we show our commitment to building a positive and inclusive environment where everyone can be involved.
When local businesses and organisations come together to support common goals, a positive spiral of development and well-being is created. We are proud to be part of this community and look forward to seeing Leksands IF achieve new successes on the ice.
