What Spenncon does

Spenncon AS is Norway's leading supplier of prefabricated concrete building systems, founded in 1961 as Forspent Betong and now wholly owned by French parent Consolis SAS. The company manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of precast concrete elements — including hollow-core slabs, walls, facades, structural systems, double-T (DT/SDT) elements, stairs, balconies, and bridges — through three strategically located factories in Hønefoss, Hjørungavåg, and Stavanger/Skurve, serving the Norwegian market via four regional sales offices. Beyond core structural products, Spenncon has developed specialized concept solutions for data centers (Consolis Spenncon TecnyData), parking structures, cold storage facilities, and transformer substations.

The business operates on a project-based B2B sales motion, engaging customers from the early concept stage through design, production, and on-site assembly. Revenue combines one-time product sales of prefabricated elements with professional services for complete raw building erection, with project values ranging from individual substation packages to multi-hundred-million NOK contracts (e.g., the ~250 million NOK Vassbakk & Stol headquarters at Gismarvik). Spenncon serves enterprise construction firms (Veidekke, Skanska, AF Gruppen, Hent AS), real estate developers (Obos, Tronrud Eiendom, GMC Eiendom), industrial end-customers (Jotun, Orkla Foods), and public sector clients (Flekkefjord kommune, Ulstein Eiendomsselskap). Annual revenue is approximately 750 million NOK with a workforce of roughly 320-400 employees.
