Building or upgrading a car wash doesn't have to be complicated. Many operators struggle with long installation times, high costs, and systems that don't fully meet their needs. Here's a solution that makes a difference: Malte Wash Bay 2.0.

Our modular car wash system is designed for simplicity and efficiency. It’s engineered for easy installation and can be quickly assembled on-site, minimizing both downtime and installation costs. The system is tailored to your business’s unique needs, ensuring high performance and satisfied customers. Whether you’re starting fresh or upgrading an existing facility, our solution offers innovative design and superior durability built to deliver long-term results.

Built for Nordic conditions

Nordic weather conditions place high demands on car wash facilities, which is why our wash bay has been developed with the Nordic climate in mind. With robust material choices, it ensures reliable operation whether it’s snowstorms, sub-zero temperatures, or damp autumn rain. Malte’s wash bay can handle snow loads up to 5.0 kN/m² and is tested for wind zone 26 (m/s), ensuring high stability and durability even in extreme weather.

Record-fast installation

The installation process is smooth and fast. The image below shows what the typical timeline looks like from delivery to a fully operational facility in just a few weeks.

Malte Group delivers wash facility to Bildusjen in Norway

We are proud to announce a new partnership with Norwegian car wash chain Bildusjen for the delivery of a new wash bay, scheduled for installation after the summer and planned to be operational in Q3. This marks the beginning of a collaboration we hope to grow further.

Bildusjen’s vision is to create Norway’s best and most gentle car wash for the car, the environment and the customer. With 36 wash stations across 20 locations in the Oslo region and a strong focus on quality, accessibility, and sustainable solutions, we are proud to be part of their journey. By delivering our latest concept, Wash Bay 2.0, we contribute to Bildusjen’s continued growth.

Sweden’s preparedness is no longer just a matter of theory, it has become a pressing reality. In a time when power supply, self-sufficiency, and crisis readiness have become central topics of discussion, the need for smart, sustainable, and robust solutions is growing. That’s why we at Malte Group have developed Malte GenSet, an off-grid energy system featuring Swedish-developed technology and green methanol as fuel.

Swedish solutions for a sustainable tomorrow

Malte GenSet is both developed and manufactured in Sweden, a conscious choice to ensure quality, availability, and self-sufficiency. At the heart of the system is a methanol-powered engine with a direct-coupled generator capable of delivering up to 145 kW peak power (120 kW continuous). The methanol, which is largely produced locally, is not only storable and climate smart but more importantly, available even during a crisis.

The unit is easy to service, simple to operate, and designed to function even during cold starts which is often a challenge for methanol-powered engines. This makes Malte GenSet a reliable choice, both for today’s energy needs and tomorrow’s uncertainties.

When preparedness becomes reality

Malte GenSet is more than a standalone energy solution, it’s a key component of Sweden’s emergency preparedness.

• It’s needed when sewage systems and water supplies must keep running during power outages.
• It’s needed when electric vehicles need charging in off-grid areas.
• It’s needed on construction sites for infrastructure projects, from ports to railways, where electricity isn’t readily available.

With Malte GenSet, we make it possible to secure the power supply quickly, sustainably, and independently.

Swedish Innovation in Focus During the Governor’s Visit

We had the honor of welcoming the Governor of Halland, Anders Thornberg, for a visit to Malte Group in Halmstad. During the tour, we had the opportunity to showcase how our Swedish production, from idea to finished solution, helps meet society’s growing need for reliable electricity, wherever in the country it may be needed.

Special attention was given to Malte GenSet, a concrete example of how technology, preparedness, and sustainability can be combined in practice.

We appreciate the Governor’s engagement in matters related to the future of energy supply and the opportunity to highlight how Swedish innovation can strengthen national preparedness across the country.
