History

AcobiaFLUX — three companies became one

Today AcobiaFLUX is a company which offers complete solutions within Industrial IT & Automation. Our customers' demand for more and more advanced solutions and specialist knowledge are the factors that keep driving our development.

The companies Acobia and FLUX officially became AcobiaFLUX in July 2005. The merger was aimed at offering the complete solutions and the key competencies that our customers sought. In September 2008 Cintec became a part of AcobiaFLUX, which thereby became one of Sweden's largest companies within Industrial IT & Automation.

Acobia, who was managed by Mikael Nilsson, work within Automation, while FLUX worked within Industrial IT. Both companies met early on as sub-contractors on large projects. The first time they met, they both discussed how well the companies complemented one another. But it was too early. Both companies needed time to grow and develop further before the time was ripe to take the next step.

In October 2004, they met for negotiations and discovered that the two companies fitted together like puzzle pieces. By merging they would complement eachothers' services which could then be offered to their customers, thereby offering broader solutions. The response was fantastic and AcobiaFLUX has developed and grown consistently since then. In the autumn of 2008 the company was ready for its next big step. The merger with Cintec, with their clear strength in Automation, created the opportunity to deliver more and greater complete solutions to clients.

It was time again to expand in 2010. When AcobiaFLUX was named the world’s best Citect integrator, several new business opportunities opened up. One of the most interesting resulted in a subsidiary in Larvik, Norway.
