What CodeIT does
CodeIT AS is a privately held Norwegian industrial software and services group founded in 2011 by Bjørnar Torsnes, headquartered in Oslo with wholly-owned subsidiary CodeIT AB in Sweden (established 2015) and additional offices in Bergen, Ålesund, Strängnäs and Ho Chi Minh City. The company sells the CodeIT Enterprise Ecosystem — a hardware-brand-agnostic, cloud-based (Microsoft Azure) production-management and traceability platform that integrates coding, marking and labeling (CML), OMS, smart palletizing, smart WMS and EU-approved legal-print scale services — alongside standalone products including the CodeIT OEE System, the CodeIT eLCI suite (eDOC, eMRB, eTAG) for engineering and project documentation, and CodeIT eSecure/CSNE for OT cybersecurity. CodeIT monetizes through a combination of enterprise software licensing with SLA/TSA support, hardware resale (Evolabel, SATO, Datalogic, Omron, Zanasi), recurring consumables, and professional services (pre-study, integration, FAT/SAT, training) delivered through direct enterprise sales and a partner/integrator network spanning ~30 countries.
CodeIT serves mission-critical traceability and production-documentation needs across four primary verticals: food/fish & seafood (notably salmon farming — Mowi, Cermaq, Sinkaberg, Pelagia, BioMar), wood products manufacturing (Moelven, Södra, Stora Enso, SCA), industrial manufacturing (Abbott, GE Healthcare, Volkswagen, Geberit, Elkem), and energy/EPC (Aker Solutions, Aker BP/Equinor via Yggdrasil, OneSubsea, Boliden). Its competitive positioning rests on hardware-vendor neutrality (CodeIT Synergy), deep transdisciplinary domain expertise — especially in fresh salmon processing — and a regulatory-grade stack including GS1 Norway Primary Partner status, DNV-vetted OT cybersecurity, IEC 62443 alignment, and a public-blockchain integration with UNISOT for immutable manufacturing records. The group employs 70+ people from 10 nationalities and, in April 2025, transitioned leadership from founder Torsnes to Christian Öhrn as Group CEO, with Thomas Anfinnes promoted to Country Manager Norway.
