What LOS Elektro does

LOS Elektro operates as the core electrical installation subsidiary of LOS Gruppen AS, a Norwegian private conglomerate founded in 1983 on Bømlo and headquartered in Rubbestadneset. The company delivers low-voltage and high-voltage electrical installation, maintenance, and service work for industrial, infrastructure, maritime, and public sector clients across Norway, with 13 group locations concentrated in Western Norway (Bergen, Stord, Ølve, Etne, Straume) plus an Oslo office for high-voltage cable operations. The LOS Gruppen reported 838 million NOK in revenue with 449 employees across 14 group companies, operating through direct enterprise sales and project-based framework agreements (rammeavtaler) with major public and private clients.

The group's technology base combines proprietary electrical installation methods with patented infrastructure solutions. The RockRoller method enables power cable routing through rock boreholes over 3-4 km distances without traditional excavation, reducing environmental intrusion and concession timelines. Zinus has developed an automated dry-plug shore power connection system for electric vessels with up to 7.5 MW charging capacity, guaranteed for 50,000 connections in all-weather arctic conditions. The group holds 170kV cable certifications from four leading manufacturers (LS, Pfisterer, Brugg, NKT, TE), enabling in-house turnkey delivery of high-voltage projects up to 420 kV without third-party specialist dependencies.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts (project installation and ongoing maintenance framework agreements with municipalities, government agencies, and grid operators), hardware sales (Zinus shore power systems to ferry operators and ports), and turnkey infrastructure projects (LOS Power Solutions high-voltage installations including cable, substation, and renewable energy connections). Customer segments span government/public sector (Bergen kommune, Statsbygg, Vestland fylkeskommune, Universitetet i Bergen), energy and utilities (Statkraft, Sognekraft, Hafslund Nett, Lyse Elnett, Kryptovault), maritime and ports (NORLED, ports in Bergen, Ålesund, Kristiansund), industrial and commercial clients, and residential heat-pump customers in the Vestland region served by LOS Varmepumpe Vestland.

Direct peers

• Bravida Norge: Bravida is the leading Nordic multi-technical service provider (electrical, HVAC, plumbing) operating across Norway. It directly competes with LOS Gruppen for municipal and commercial framework agreements, though at substantially larger scale.
• Caverion Norge: Caverion provides building electrical, HVAC, and automation services in Norway, comparable to LOS Elektro's low-voltage and public-sector service lines. It competes for the same municipal and commercial installation framework agreements.
• Cavotec: Cavotec is a specialist in shore power (shore-to-ship) and automated mooring/charging solutions for ports and ferries. It is the closest direct peer to LOS's Zinus subsidiary in the automated vessel-charging product category.
• Mesta: Mesta is a major Norwegian infrastructure contractor with capabilities in road, tunnel, and electrical infrastructure. It competes with LOS Gruppen on civil-electrical infrastructure projects, particularly public-sector work in Western Norway.
• Eltel Networks: Eltel is a Nordic specialist in high-voltage power distribution and transmission network builds and is one of the closest functional peers to LOS Power Solutions. Both compete for grid-utility (DSO/TSO) framework work across the Nordics.
• OneCo: OneCo is one of Norway's largest electrical contractors with operations across high-voltage infrastructure, telecom, and building electrification. It is directly comparable to LOS Elektro as a national-scale Norwegian electrical EPC serving utilities, public sector, and industrial clients.

Regional players

• Å Energi: Å Energi is a regional Norwegian utility/energy group with in-house network services and electrical contracting. It overlaps with LOS Gruppen in grid and infrastructure services but primarily operates in a different Norwegian region.
• Assemblin: Assemblin is a leading Nordic technical installation contractor (electrical, HVAC, plumbing) primarily operating in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. It is a regional peer with overlapping service offerings and similar public-sector GTM as LOS Gruppen.

Broad incumbents

• Hitachi Energy (formerly Hitachi ABB Power Grids): Hitachi Energy is a global incumbent in HV substation, transformer, and grid solutions. It is both a strategic partner of LOS (co-bid winner on Tronsholen) and a broader competitor on utility-scale HV projects.

Others

• Skanska Norge: Skanska is a major Norwegian construction and civil infrastructure contractor with adjacent electrical installation capabilities on large public and infrastructure projects. It is comparable as a large-project competitor/bid partner rather than a direct service overlap.
