Norsk Rørallianse

What Norsk Rørallianse does

Norsk Rørallianse, commercially branded as Konekta AS, is a Norwegian private limited company (aksjeselskap, org.nr 984 868 162) that operates a nationwide alliance of technical contracting companies. Founded in 2002 and headquartered at Strandveien 35 in Lysaker, Norway, the alliance comprises eight owner companies (Allier Gruppen, Elektrogruppen, K. Lund, Nordvest Miljø, Teqva Gruppen, Terjesen, TRG) and one associated partner (Askim og Mysen Rør), each operating as a local market leader in pipe (Rør), ventilation, automation, or electrical (Elektro) services for the construction and building industry.

The alliance's core activities are joint procurement agreements (Felles innkjøpsavtaler) and competence development (Kompetanseutvikling). Since 2002, Konekta has aggregated demand across its members to negotiate favorable supply terms with wholesalers and suppliers. The competence-development offering includes structured development programs and college-level further education, supplemented by sustainability-focused e-learning (Bærekraft e-læringskurs) and the "Ingeborgnettverket" network. A centralized Servicekontoret in Lysaker coordinates purchasing, training, and administrative functions across owner companies.

Konekta's revenue model is service- and fee-based, centered on procurement coordination and shared services for member companies, rather than direct end-customer contracting. Go-to-market is executed through the owner-company network across Norway, with the central website (konekta.no) serving as the primary marketing surface. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through individual member agreements. The firm is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed, and has implemented compliance with the Norwegian Transparency Act (åpenhetsloven).

Core offering

Norsk Rørallianse (DBA Konekta) is a nationwide alliance of local market-leading technical contractors that delivers two core services to its owner companies: (1) joint purchasing agreements with wholesalers and suppliers, in place since 2002, and (2) competence development programs including college-level continuing education. Member companies operate across four technical disciplines — pipe/installation (Rør), ventilation, automation, and electrical — serving construction and building industry customers in Norway.

Product overview

Konekta is a nationwide alliance of technical entrepreneurs, functioning as a purchasing and competence development consortium for its owner companies.

The alliance comprises eight owner companies operating in pipe (Rør), ventilation (Ventilasjon), automation (Automasjon), and electro (Elektro) sectors, along with associated partners and network collaborators. The core value proposition is collective purchasing power and shared knowledge/experience among local market leaders.
