our story
lorensbergs Communication AB was formed in Sweden in 1995 as a consultancy service providing PC booking software for internet cafes, and then libraries.
Each of the founders had an extensive background in technology and consulting, and a strong personal commitment to delivering best value, innovative solutions for clients. These core values still underpin the business today.
Just over a decade later, and following a period of extensive development, investment and success, the company has expanded to employ nearly 50 staff members responsible for resource planning systems for hundreds of customers worldwide.
With our own in-house development and technical support teams, plus head offices in both Sweden and the UK, lorensbergs has grown organically to be the company it is today...
