OUR HISTORY
1993
Everything started back in 1993 with the dream of selling label printers, labels, handheld terminals and barcode scanners – in a yellow house with an apple orchard in Kløfta, Norway. At the time, the company was called Strekkodesystemer AS. Turnover in the first year was NOK 3.9 million, rising to NOK 8.9 million the following year (1994). As turnover increased, the product range and the number of employees both continued to grow steadily in the years that followed.
2001
In 2001, LexIT was founded as a separate company within the Strekkodesystemer Group, which previously consisted of Strekkodesystemer Maskin AS and Strekkodesystemer Etikett AS. The range of products was further expanded to include POS and retail products. The group changed its name to Lexit Group AS.
2002
To handle the demand for products and solutions in central Norway, the company needed a branch in this area, so a new regional office was opened in Trondheim in 2002.
2004 / 2008
To complete the product range, Lexit Group Sweden AB was founded in Frölunda outside Gothenburg in 2004 and with that, the company’s own label printing company was born. It didn’t take long before Lexit Group Sweden needed more space and larger premises, and by 2008 a new building was ready in Mölnlycke, Gothenburg, designed entirely according to the company’s specifications. The new premises were quickly filled with new printing presses and more staff to cope with the growing demand for labels.
2009 / 2012
The group’s Scandinavian presence was firmly established when Lexit Group Denmark ApS saw the light of day in 2009 with offices in Allerød/Copenhagen. In 2012, a new regional office was also established in Vejle, in southern Denmark.
2017
The high demand for labels in Norway and Sweden made it necessary to have more printing presses and more storage space in Mölnlycke / Gothenburg, so plans for an extension began. This resulted in doubling the production area, and the new building was completed in 2017.
2022 / 2023
Lexit is currently one of the leading groups in the Nordics and a total supplier of data capture, RFID, POS/retail, electronic shelf labels (ESL), automation and robotics, WMS systems, industrial coding and marking, and software solutions – including both modular solutions and integrated software for complex system setups. With the acquisition of Markem-Imaje in the Scandinavian countries in 2022, we significantly expanded our portfolio of solutions for industrial coding and marking. That same year, Swedish company Idnet became part of the Lexit Group – bringing strong expertise in process digitalization for stores and warehouses, including WMS, electronic shelf labels (ESL), automation, and robotics.
2023 was also a year full of events – starting with the sale of our entire label business to the Swedish company Nordvalls Etikett. This was done to focus on the more technology-intensive part of our operations. Label deliveries to our customers will continue through Nordvalls. Marthinsen Trading, based in Bergen, was acquired, strengthening our position in data capture and retail. In the same year, Informa joined the group, placing Finland on the Lexit map and making us a Nordic provider of industrial coding and marking.
Altogether, the group has close to 240 employees and a turnover of approximately NOK 1,2 billion.
