What began with an industry connection in 1996 has grown into a partnership spanning three decades. For KATKO and Euro Energy Components, the collaboration brings together technical expertise, reliable products, and a shared commitment to finding the right solutions for customers.

The relationship began when Euro Energy Components’ founder and former owner, Thomas Frohm, connected with KATKO through industry contacts. From there, the collaboration grew, with Euro Energy Components developing sales of KATKO solutions among Swedish panel builders and industrial customers.

Quality and technical expertise at the core

For Euro Energy Components, the strength of the partnership lies in the combination of reliable products and accessible technical expertise.

KATKO’s product range has strengthened Euro Energy Components’ offering to panel and switchgear manufacturers, helping the team respond to technical requirements quickly and reliably. With responsive service and direct access to KATKO’s technical support, Euro Energy Components can confidently recommend and deliver solutions to its customers.

“We value KATKO's product quality and reliability, combined with strong technical support that lets us confidently recommend and deliver solutions to our customers – backed by fast response times and a team that's easy to work with,” says Joakim Elm, CEO, Euro Energy Components.

From customer need to tailored solution

One project in particular demonstrates how the collaboration works in practice.

Euro Energy Components worked with KATKO to develop custom-built switches for several municipal utilities responsible for waste collection, recycling facilities, and district heating services in mid-sized Swedish cities.

The project required switches specifically adapted to the customers’ processes. Together, KATKO and Euro Energy Components delivered more than 700 custom-made switches with built-in control functionality for different processes within the waste recycling operations. The result was a solution tailored to the specific requirements of the application rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Three decades of collaboration

After three decades of working together, the partnership between KATKO and Euro Energy Components goes far beyond supplying products. Close communication and a strong understanding of each other’s capabilities make it easier to respond to customer needs, solve challenges together, and identify new opportunities.

“Our long-standing partnership allows us to understand our customers better, respond faster, and create opportunities together. By combining our experience and knowledge with close communication, we can solve challenges more effectively and build reliable solutions that support our customers as their needs evolve,” says Kim Rannanjärvi, Sales Manager (Sweden) KATKO.
