Raufoss Industripark

What Raufoss Industripark does

Raufoss Industripark AS operates one of Norway's largest industrial parks, located in Vestre Toten municipality, Innlandet county, with origins dating to 1896. The company owns, develops, and operates approximately 287,000 sqm of leasable property across ~350 buildings, 40 km of paved roads, and ~3,000 decares of industrial land, hosting ~75 tenant companies and ~3,300 employees. Major tenants include Benteler Automotive (aluminum components, ~450 staff), Kongsberg Automotive (brake couplings, ~250 staff), Nammo (defense), Hexagon Ragasco (composite LPG cylinders), Raufoss Technology, and Raufoss Aluminium, with ~95% of tenant output exported.

The core platform is an industrial symbiosis model that combines energy sharing, waste-heat recovery, and shared infrastructure services. Technical components include a low-temperature district heating network (Lavtemperaturnett) that captures waste heat from aluminum casting and metal heat treatment (notably Benteler's 700°C smelting exhaust) and distributes it across park buildings, plus planned consolidated logistics, an emission-free heavy-transport corridor with Oslo Port, and the Planet 2030 climate/energy data initiative. The operator's technology is therefore as much about shared physical infrastructure and inter-tenant energy orchestration as it is about real estate.

Revenue is generated through three streams: industrial property rental (subscription/recurring) on multi-year leases of spaces and land plots; shared infrastructure services including district heating, logistics coordination, and maintenance; and development/project services for custom build-to-suit facilities. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated individually, with no public rate card. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, event-driven outreach (Leverandørdagene/Supplier Days, Industry Conference), and an in-park apprenticeship pipeline (Industrilærling) that feeds tenant workforce demand. Ownership is diversified across property holding companies (Skattum Eiendom 35%, SKB Eiendom 35%), Swiss Life ESG Nordic 2024 (15%), Vestre Toten kommune, and others, with Swiss Life Asset Managers Nordic represented on the board.

Core offering

Raufoss Industripark AS owns, develops, and operates a large-scale industrial park in Raufoss, Norway, providing ready-to-use industrial buildings, buildable plots, and shared infrastructure services (district heating from industrial waste heat, coordinated logistics, maintenance) to approximately 75 manufacturing tenant companies. Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year leases of industrial properties, recurring shared infrastructure service fees, and project-based custom development of new facilities for tenants.

Product overview

Raufoss Industripark operates as a large-scale industrial real estate and infrastructure management platform, functioning as one of Norway's largest and most internationally oriented industrial parks. The core offering is the physical industrial park itself — a managed ecosystem of approximately 75 companies, 3,300 employees, 300,000 m² of premises, and 2,900 decares of industrial area. The portfolio includes sub-brands and programs such as Planet 2030 (climate and energy initiative), Lavtemperaturnett (low-temperature district heating network), NCE Raufoss (the expertise cluster programme), Fabrikken B5 (collaborative meeting/event space), the apprenticeship programme (Industrilærling), and the emission-free transport corridor project. Available commercial real estate offerings (Ledige lokaler) provide buildable plots and vacant premises for lease. The park differentiates itself through shared infrastructure, energy symbiosis, research partnerships (Sintef, NTNU, MTNC, Fagskolen Innlandet), and a collaborative ecosystem for goods production and lightweight materials.

Direct peers

• Nyfosa: Nordic commercial real estate company focused on light-industrial, logistics, and warehouse properties in Sweden and Finland. Comparable business model: industrial property leasing to manufacturing and logistics tenants in Nordic markets.
• Her\u00f8ya Industripark: Major Norwegian industrial park in Porsgrunn hosting chemical, process, and advanced manufacturing tenants. Directly comparable as a Norwegian industrial cluster with shared infrastructure, research partnerships, and export-oriented manufacturing tenants.
• Sagax: Nordic-listed industrial and warehouse real estate company owning light-industrial properties across Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Germany. Comparable as a specialist industrial-property landlord serving manufacturing tenants in the Nordics.
• Kalundborg Symbiosis: Industrial symbiosis park in Denmark where companies share waste heat, steam, and by-products across a closed-loop network. Closest conceptual peer to Raufoss's energy-sharing and circular-economy model, including low-temperature district heating fed by industrial waste heat.

Broad incumbents

• Goodman Group: Global industrial real estate specialist operating logistics and business-park estates across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Comparable as a large industrial-property platform but at much larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Raufoss.
• Castellum: One of the largest Nordic commercial real estate companies with a substantial portfolio of industrial/logistics properties across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Broader and more diversified than Raufoss but overlaps in Nordic industrial-property leasing to manufacturers.
• Prologis: Global industrial REIT and logistics real estate platform. Adjacent comparator as the dominant industrial-property landlord worldwide, though focused on logistics rather than manufacturing clusters with symbiosis infrastructure.

Regional players

• Stenhus Fastigheter: Nordic real estate company with industrial and commercial properties primarily in Sweden. Comparable as a Nordic-focused industrial-property landlord, though smaller and less cluster-oriented than Raufoss.
• Catena AB: Nordic logistics and industrial real estate owner/developer focused on supply-chain-critical properties in Scandinavia. Adjacent in Nordic industrial real estate but more logistics-supply-chain oriented than Raufoss's manufacturing-heavy focus.

Others

• NCE Manufacturing / Norwegian Innovation Clusters: The Norwegian Centers of Expertise cluster program that includes Raufoss's own NCE designation. Comparable as an ecosystem/innovation-cluster operator; relevant because many other NCE clusters (NCE Maritime, NCE Aquaculture) operate similar shared-infrastructure and tenant-collaboration models.
