What CTM Lyng does

CTM Lyng AS is a privately held Norwegian manufacturer and supplier of safety and energy-efficiency products for residential and commercial buildings. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Klæbu, Norway, with production in Vanvikan, the company operates under legal entity CTM Lyng AS (Norwegian organization number NO 936 285 244 MVA) and describes itself as one of Norway's leading suppliers of technology for increased safety and electricity savings in buildings and homes. Its product portfolio centers on stove guards under the mKomfy sub-brand (carrying a 7-year warranty), the mTouch smart home system, AquaXpress water-leak shutoff devices, Norlum LED lighting for the Nordic market, frost protection systems, heat-control thermostats, the Centrol building automation system, the Strømkutt power-cut module triggered by smoke alarms, and UnTouch touch-free switches.

The core technology platform is the mTouch smart home system, which since 2022 has been offered in two variants: a proprietary R-løsning and mTouch Home OP, the latter built on the open Zigbee 3.0 protocol for interoperability with third-party devices. mKomfy stove guards monitor stovetop conditions and automatically cut power when dangerous temperatures or dry-boiling are detected, and are mandated in Norwegian new construction and electrical rehabilitations under building code since 2010. In January 2022, IPAS was merged into CTM Lyng, bringing 20 years of lighting and planning expertise and adding the Norlum industrial lighting line (Dense mini, Highbay Pyramid, Powerblock), positioning CTM Lyng as a complete lighting supplier.

CTM Lyng generates revenue exclusively through hardware product sales distributed via Norwegian electrical and plumbing wholesalers (bransjeprodukter), with installation performed by certified electricians and plumbers and pricing negotiated quote-based through trade partners. The customer base spans residential homeowners/housing cooperatives and commercial/industrial buildings (sports halls, warehouses, industrial facilities), with a publicly disclosed enterprise standardization partnership with TOBB (Tunwa Holding) specifying CTM Lyng products across multiple new-construction developments. The company aligns its smart power management solution with the Enova government subsidy program, allowing residential customers to claim up to 10,000 NOK toward installations.
