Albin toilets appear to be clones of
Jabsco toilets...every model is identical to a
Jabsco and they even say their toilets are "plug and play"
replacements for Jabsco. They may be a Swedish company, but according to their website "We develop our products in
Sweden and manufacture with partners around the world." That doesn't sound like they actually make them in
Sweden. Plus, they're brand new on the market, which means they don't have a track
record yet so it's impossible to know their quality/longterm reliability/durability yet.

Pump is another Swedish company that also offers clones of Jabsco toilets...they do have a track
record of being somewhat higher quality/durability than Jabsco, but nowhere near that of
Raritan who's been around since the 1960s with products that are always top-rated and who still makes all their products in the US. They introduced the
Marine Elegance 10 years ago. Practical Sailor rated it "best in show" in a review of macerating
electric toilets a few years ago and I've yet to see or hear from anyone who has one--many for several years--who doesn't love it. I know of two retailers who have it for about $700 INCLUDING the optional $150 Smartflush panel.
