We are proud to say CTEK has been nominated for the Stora Leverantörspriset, one of the most respected awards in the Scandinavian automotive supply industry. 

The nomination for the Stora Leverantörspriset (which translates as the Grand Supplier Award) reflects the company’s remarkable growth, its focus on sustainability and its role as an exemplar for the wider sector.

The awards jury commented: “The journey has gone from a garage project with motorcycles and enthusiast cars to becoming a listed, dynamic global player, today both an OEM supplier and a technology leader in battery chargers.

“With a strong position in the consumer market as well as the OEM and professional segments, the business model stands out as a winning concept in an era defined by sustainability.

“The company combines innovative design with strong entrepreneurship and a clear environmental focus, while its commitment to internationalisation and continuous research and development reinforces its role as an industry role model.”

Today, CTEK operates in more than 70 markets, and we continue to invest in new technology and product development to meet the demands of a rapidly changing industry.

A recognition of innovation and responsibility

Being shortlisted for Stora Leverantörspriset is also recognition of CTEK’s ability to adapt to a time of major change in the automotive world. Electrification, digitalisation and sustainability are reshaping the industry, and suppliers are under increasing pressure to deliver reliable, forward-looking solutions.

For CTEK, the nomination is not only a celebration of what has already been achieved but also an important sign that the company’s strategy for the future is the right one. The transition from combustion engines to electric drivetrains is the biggest shift the automotive industry has ever faced.

“Being nominated for the Stora Leverantörspriset is not only a huge honour, but also proof that CTEK is at the very forefront of the automotive industry’s transformation. We are extremely proud that our commitment to sustainable innovation, advanced technology and close partnerships with our customers is being recognised in this way. This acknowledgement strengthens our determination to keep driving progress and to continue shaping the future of mobility together with the industry.”

Ulrika Romell, Head of Pre-Sales,Professional, CTEK:

"Suppliers who can deliver practical solutions with strong environmental credentials will play a decisive role. CTEK’s commitment to sustainable innovation, advanced charging technology and user-centered design has created a strong platform for the future."

"By working closely with manufacturers as well as end customers, we are shaping solutions that address the needs of today while preparing for the requirements of tomorrow."

The prize winner will be chosen by the award committee, made up of FKG’s chairman Martin Lidén, board member Cecilia Schülén and CEO Peter Bryntesson, together with the two most recent winners, Jonas Adolfsson of SSAB and Joakim Fritz of National Sweden. The prize will be awarded on 9 October.

CTEK becomes EV charging partner to the Swedish Ski Association

CTEK has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association, providing CC3 EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, the charging solutions will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches, staff and the wider organisation. Falun, Sweden – CTEK, a global leader in battery charging and electric vehicle charging, has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association to provide EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Under the agreement, CTEK is providing charging solutions from its CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) product family. The project is being delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, which is carrying out the installations at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. The chargers will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches and staff, as well as other electric vehicles operated by the Swedish Ski Association. They will provide reliable and convenient charging when vehicles are at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena or the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office, supporting the Association’s continued transition towards more sustainable transport. For the Swedish Ski Association, the drive to constantly improve goes beyond athletic performance. The Association believes it is equally important to keep improving the smart, climate-friendly solutions that support its everyday operations. “We are delighted to work with the Swedish Ski Association as its EV charging partner. Elite sport depends not only on what happens on the track or slopes, but also on the people, vehicles and infrastructure working behind the scenes. By providing our CC3 charging technology and working alongside Kalema e-Mobility, we can help support the Association’s everyday operations and its transition towards more electrified transport,” said Johanna Mogren Sundqvist, Sales Manager EVSE at CTEK. Developed in Sweden for professional EV charging, CC3 can be adapted to different organisations, vehicle requirements and parking environments. The EV chargers can provide up to 22 kW per outlet and support connectivity and load balancing. This allows the available electrical capacity to be used efficiently while enabling the charging infrastructure to expand as the Swedish Ski Association’s requirements grow. "For us, this investment is about creating the conditions for a smarter and more sustainable operation. Our athletes, coaches and staff travel extensively throughout the year, and reliable charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday operations. CTEK combines proven technology with strong local roots in Dalarna, making them a natural supplier as we continue to develop our organisation and reduce the environmental impact of our transport solutions," said Johan Gräfnings, Swedish Ski Association. The agreement connects CTEK’s home in Falun, Dalarna, with the Swedish Ski Association’s activities at Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and its Åre office in Jämtland. For CTEK, it is an opportunity to support the Swedish Ski Association and its national teams with technology that makes a practical difference behind the scenes. The collaboration will also give CTEK agreed brand visibility across the Swedish Ski Association’s activities.
