Malthe Winje

What Malthe Winje does

Malthe Winje AS is a Norwegian industrial automation and energy infrastructure group founded in 1922 and headquartered in Kolbotn (Oppegård), Norway, with approximately 160 employees distributed across subsidiaries in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, France, and China. The group operates as a holding company for wholly-owned entities including Malthe Winje Automasjon AS, Malthe Winje Infrapower AS, Malthe Winje Automation AB (Sweden), Scandinavian Water Technology AS, and Scanwater AS, and is led by Chairman and main shareholder Tor Berntsen.

The company serves four primary vertical markets: Energy and Hydroelectric Power (complete electromechanical packages for Norwegian and international hydropower plants), Transport and Communications Infrastructure (railway power supply, track switch heating, and operations control for metro, tram, and rail), Building Automation (SCADA, HVAC, and energy optimization for public and commercial buildings), and Water and Wastewater (treatment plant automation, pumping stations, and emergency water preparedness under the Scanwater brand). Its core technology stack centers on the ICONICS Genesis64 SCADA platform, deployed through proprietary products MW SmartFrame and MW Insight, with the cloud-based MW Cloud platform providing remote monitoring, data processing, and AI/ML-driven optimization, exemplified by the award-winning Water Digital Twin. Adjacent offerings include Saia-Burgess Controls PLCs, automation components (Carlo Gavazzi, S+S Regeltechnik), high-voltage products (transformers, rectifiers, switchgear, battery energy storage systems, and high voltage terminals up to 550kV), and the NegaWatt energy efficiency concept for buildings.

Revenue is generated through a mix of turnkey project delivery (design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning), hardware distribution through direct sales and the MWG web shop (mwhandel.no, nettbutikk.mwg.no), multi-year service and maintenance contracts with guaranteed response times and 24/7 SCADA support, and channel revenues from being the exclusive ICONICS partner in Norway. Customer relationships are predominantly long-tenured enterprise and government accounts, with pricing handled through project-based quotes rather than public rate cards. The group is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 27001:2022 certified across its main operating subsidiaries, and operates an enterprise field sales motion anchored by direct regional offices in Kolbotn, Ski, Moss, Skien, and Halden.
