Where we came from

Axiell was founded in the 1980s as a software provider to public libraries in Sweden. Since then we’ve grown to become a provider of software to a far wider range of organizations across the globe.

Over the years we have identified companies whose goals and values are consistent with our own and brought them into the Axiell group. We integrate staff and customers into a bigger whole, working together as one team. Every company that has joined Axiell has brought something valuable to the mix.

We’re always striving to be more than the sum of our parts by taking the best that each of us brings and using that to improve our offer to our whole customer base.
