What Motek AS does
Motek AS is a Norwegian specialty distributor and service provider for professional construction tools, fasteners, and installation systems, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Oslo. The company operates a hybrid physical-and-digital distribution model consisting of 33 retail stores across Norway, an e-commerce storefront at motek.no, and a field sales force of 130+ representatives providing on-site support to construction sites. Its product portfolio is anchored by exclusive Norwegian distribution rights for Festool (held since 1992 and reported as the highest Festool sales per capita worldwide) and a distribution partnership with Hilti, supplemented by Motek-branded consumables across categories including machines, fasteners, installation hardware, and chemicals.
Value-added services wrap around the core product business: a 25-mechanic in-house workshop services approximately 30,000 tools and calibrates roughly 3,000 lasers annually with a 3-day repair target; a Fleet Management subscription offers tool leasing with full service inclusion; an engineering team delivers Profis Engineering cloud-based anchor design software (compliant with Eurocode 2 Part 4 / EN 1992-4) along with BIM modeling and technical consulting; and the company runs safety and product training courses.
The business model combines one-time equipment sales with recurring and project-based service revenue (repair, fleet, engineering, training), targeted at Norwegian construction companies and professional tradespeople as the primary B2B segment, with a secondary DIY consumer segment. Distribution is purely domestic (Norway), and the company appears to be privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds.

Motek AS product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Motek AS distributes professional construction tools, machines, fastening materials, and accessories—primarily from Hilti and Festool—through 33 retail stores across Norway, a B2B/B2C e-commerce platform, and a 130+ person field sales team. The company bundles these physical products with value-added services including tool fleet leasing, in-house workshop repair (25 mechanics, ~30,000 tools serviced annually), engineering/anchor design support, BIM services, and safety training courses.
Product overview
Motek AS is a Norwegian distributor and service provider for professional construction tools and fasteners, operating a multi-brand portfolio centered on Hilti and Festool alongside its own Motek-branded products. The core offering is the Motek.no e-commerce platform — a B2B online store enabling construction professionals to browse, configure, and order tools, fasteners, and accessories across six main product categories: Machines (power tools from Hilti and Festool including the Hilti Nuron 22V battery platform with 100+ tools), Fasteners (anchors, screws, and fire-stopping products), Machine Accessories and Consumables (bits, batteries, dust extraction, storage), Chemistry/Vapor Barrier/Fire Stopping, Installation Products (pipe hangers, rail systems, clamps), and miscellaneous items. Value-added services built around the product portfolio include: Motek Fleet Management (tool leasing), Motek Engineering Services (anchor design/BIM), Motek Workshop and Service (25-mechanic repair shop with 3-day turnaround), BIM Services, safety and product training courses, and freight/delivery with same-day dispatch for orders before 4 PM. A complementary digital tool, Profis Engineering (cloud-based anchor design software following Eurocode 2 Part 4), is offered as a web-based engineering calculator. The Nuron battery platform is a key strategic product line — a unified 22V platform shared across the Hilti cordless tool range, with batteries and chargers also available as standalone products. Festool products are presented as a complementary sub-brand with their own ecosystem (SYSTAINER storage, DOMINO joinery, dust extractors).
