Westec As

What Westec As does

Westec AS is a Norwegian physical-security systems integrator founded in 2002 and headquartered in Bergen, with a regional office in Skjetten (Oslo) serving Eastern Norway. The company delivers integrated security solutions spanning access control (Johnson Controls C•CURE 9000, StarWatch, RCO Adgangskontroll, Tyco Cloud Access Control), video surveillance and CCTV (Tyco Cloud, Ava Security, traditional ITV platforms from Axis, Bosch, Milestone, Pelco), intrusion alarms (RCO, FG-approved ATS), intercoms (Mobotix, Zenitel), IoT health-and-safety sensing (Avigilon HALO), and SALTO electronic cylinders and padlocks. The technical model is multi-vendor integration rather than proprietary IP: Westec unifies third-party systems under command-center platforms such as Qognify VisionHub and Victor (Johnson Controls), with custom database integrations (payment, HR, legacy access control) and advanced video/audio analytics delivered through partner platforms.

The business combines three revenue streams: (1) hardware sales through a Norwegian-Kroner e-commerce storefront with around 49 SKUs; (2) enterprise project installation and integration priced on a quote basis with site inspections (befaring); and (3) recurring service, maintenance, framework agreements, and cloud subscriptions (Tyco Cloud and Ava per-camera subscriptions). Customers are Norwegian enterprises and public-sector organisations, including Bergen Kommune, Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo Airport T2 TV-surveillance maintenance), Vinhuset AS, and LMC. Credentials include FG (Forsikringsselskapenes Godkjenning) approval for intrusion alarms, Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification (2024), and Lærebedrift apprenticeship status. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors; management is led by Christian Skeie (Daglig leder), Trine Heggernes (Administrasjonssjef), and Christer Heggernes (Salgssjef), with Erik Gillebo heading the Eastern Norway operations.
