Core offering

Maxeta AS distributes and supplies electrotechnical products across four verticals in Norway: power supply infrastructure (cable materials, station equipment, joints and terminations 12-550kV, safety equipment), railway electrification (contact wire systems, hydraulic tools, spring tensioning), electrical installation (duct systems, structured cabling, data networks), and healthcare (hospital room panels, medical suspension rails, examination lighting). The company also designs and manufactures Florence medical supply units and medical suspension rails in-house at its Skien headquarters under ISO 13485 certification, while distributing patented technologies such as the TENSOREX C+ automatic spring tensioning system from Mosdorfer Rail.

Product overview

Maxeta AS is a Norwegian electrotechnical products company established in 1960, supplying Norway with electrical products across four main divisions: Elforsyning (Power Supply Infrastructure), Jernbane (Railway), Elektroinstallasjon (Electrical Installation), and Helse og omsorg (Health and Care). The product portfolio includes specialized railway tools (battery-powered hydraulic press and cutting tools under the InLiner, PressMax, DuoLiner, RS-C, and InLineBox brands), power infrastructure materials, structured cabling systems (dGlink brand), medical equipment (Florence hospital panels, suspension rails, operating columns, lighting), and the TENSOREX C+ automatic spring tensioning system for railway contact lines. Maxeta operates as a distributor of third-party brands (primarily MasterBase tools from Mosdorfer) combined with proprietary healthcare products manufactured in Skien.
