About
SE Automation is the automation and robotics division of Svenska Elektrod AB, a Swedish welding equipment and consumables distributor founded in 1981. Under CEO Per Brännström and Chairman Karl Ericsson, who took over the company in 2015, SE Automation pivoted the business toward collaborative robotics while keeping its welding-industry roots, and became a certified Universal Robots integrator as well as UR's 100th authorized training center worldwide. The company specializes in retrofitting cobots into existing welding-focused production lines, a documented example being a ceiling-mounted UR10e grinding cell added next to an existing robotic MIG-welding cell, which removed the need for an operator to manually grind welds wearing a fresh-air mask. The parent company has around 30 employees and roughly SEK 76 million in annual revenue. SE Automation distributes cobots and AMRs from Universal Robots, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), and Kawasaki Robotics, alongside peripheral brands including Robotiq, OnRobot-adjacent grippers, and welding-specific cobot accessories from Lorch Cobotronic. For manufacturers in welding-heavy industries looking to retrofit collaborative robots into existing robotic welding cells, SE Automation brings a documented specialty that few general integrators can match.
