Backer BHV AB in Sösdala, southern Sweden, is the parent company of the Backer Group. The unit in Sösdala is the hub of a group that combines global market coverage with local presence and proximity to its customers. Our business idea is to provide producers and users of heating products with components and systems for electrical heating purposes.

Backer's fundamental principle is that our products and services must be of the highest quality and that we constantly strive to improve internally to ensure complete customer satisfaction and to minimise environmental impact. Considerations of quality have always been a hallmark of Backer products, and since 1992 these have been set out formally in the ISO 9001 quality certification. Backer's certificate was updated to the new standard ISO 9001: 2008 in 2009. Since August 2011, the units Sösdala and Tjörnarp in Sweden are also ISO 14001 certified.

We develop and manufacture elements for a wide range of applications from motor heaters to process heaters. Our business concept is to provide optimal technology for each specialised application. In order to become the preferred business partner, the group carries on research and development to find new solutions for new applications, and supplies individual components or complete systems for electric heating. In some areas the technologies we specialise in can be applied to other functions besides heating, such as resistors.

We carry out development, manufacture and marketing of a range of technologies in the field of electrical elements. Our technology covers a wide area, so the customer is always sure of the best solution. By applying our knowledge and equipment to different technological fields we are able to develop new solutions that can strengthen the customer's competitiveness. We can also provide technology and products for temperature regulation and heat exchangers.
