Oct 23, 2026



Erik Jonsson, Managing Director of Nordic Quick Systems, with sales representative Eva-Lena Bergkvist at LIGNA. 

With sawmills among its first customers, Nordic Quick Systems has developed technology for replacing worn teeth on sprockets. The Pite?based company is now being acquired by the Canadian firm Can-Am Chains, which has customers in more than 40 countries.

The Canadian group Can-Am Chains, which operates globally, has acquired Nordic Quick Systems AB, an award-winning start-up specialising in industrial maintenance that has developed its patented innovation into a product range and exported it to over ten countries. The acquisition of Nordic Quick Systems strengthens Can-Am’s presence in the Nordic market and adds patented technology for the rapid replacement of wear parts to the group’s global product range, thanks to a combination of innovation and re-use technology, a comprehensive range of chains and a global organisation.

Can-Am Chains manufactures and supplies industrial chains and sprockets for, amongst other things, sawmill machinery. The acquisition adds patented technology to the Group’s product range and gives Nordic Quick Systems access to an international manufacturing and sales organisation, reports Svensk Verkstad.
