After this I decided to return to industrial business and 1987 I started up Professional Control AB together with some partners. We succeeded to get those agencies that I had worked with for many years, like Oyster Terminals, Interface Inc and we started to import industrial computers from Flytech Technologies Co and in the early 90´s we also found Acrosser. We moved the company to Dalarna, approx. 300 km northwest from Stockholm, year 1993. The main reason was a higher live quality and also the extrem high rental cost for office in Stockholm and there where a lot of traffic problems as well. At our new office we had 5 employees and we also sold Compaq computers and one man was dedicated to LAN and we sold network to local companies. As the two last years PC-business was not profitable I decided to concentrate on industrial business and we splitted up Professional Control.
1999 I started a new company, Profcon Electronics AB together with a business college who is running another company called Swede Electronics AB. They are a producer of intelligent battery chargers for wheel chairs and very successful in that area. The owner of that company is Lars-Uno Olsson and we started up Profcon Electronics together. Our main products are today Interface loadcells, TwoTechnologies handheld terminals/computers and industrial computers and I/O-cards from IEI ( ICP Electronics Inc.), ICP-DAS some other products.
We are located in the same building (owned by Lars-Uno Olsson) and the total space is 8.600 square feet. Today we have 5 people employed and we expect to hire another sales man later this year. Our turnover for year 2008 was around USD 1.700.000:- and this will increase to at least USD 1.900.000:- for year 2009. We have a very professional border, our CEO is Mr. Claes Spens, former president of ASEA Haegglunds in US, former marketing manager for Sperry-Rand both in Canada and in U.K. He is very active in our company and that is very important for success.
Look forward to meet you and discuss further business.
Best regards
Lars Lidmarck
