What Elektro does
Elektro AS, operating under the brand Elektrogruppen, is a privately-held Norwegian total technical contractor founded in 1946 and headquartered in Bodø. The company delivers integrated electrical installation, plumbing (VVS), ventilation, building automation, alarm and security, telecommunications, EV charging, and solar energy services across four customer segments: commercial/industrial, residential, maritime, and public sector. Its core product is "Totalteknisk entreprise" — single-point-responsibility delivery of all building technical systems under one contract — enabled by cross-protocol automation expertise (KNX, DALI, Modbus, Bacnet-IP), BIM-enabled design and engineering consulting capabilities, and in-house project management.
The company operates through 15+ wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries spanning Nordland county and adjacent regions, including Elektro Bodø AS, Nilsson AS (plumbing), Elektro Mo AS, Elektro Ofoten AS, Lofoten Elektro AS, Elektrikern Mosjøen AS, and Helgeland Ventilasjon AS. With approximately 690 employees, Elektro serves as total technical subcontractor on major construction projects (e.g., Wood Hotel Bodø, Hunstadsenteret, City Nord, Narvik Helsehus, Posthusgården) and provides long-term service agreements managed via the Norik platform. Customer base includes Nordlandssykehuset HF (multi-phase healthcare contract valued at ~300M NOK), Avinor Flysikring, Bodø Kommune, Nordland Fylkeskommune, Coop Nordland SA, Nordvik AS, Gigante Salmon, and Fjord1.
Revenue is generated primarily through project-based fixed-price contracts supplemented by recurring service and maintenance agreements and direct-to-consumer residential work. Distribution is regional and direct: enterprise field sales engage property developers, municipalities, and government entities, while residential customers book through the website and regional offices. The company has pursued growth through targeted acquisitions in the Helgeland region (Elektrikern Mosjøen AS in 2021, Helgeland Ventilasjon AS in 2023), launched the Elektroakademiet internal training platform in 2022, and maintains membership in industry associations (Nelfo, Elfag, Konekta) and technology partnerships (Assa Abloy, SolarEdge, SystemHouse Solutions). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
