What Kiesel Norge does

Kiesel Norge AS is a Norwegian distributor of heavy industrial equipment founded in 1995 and headquartered in Langhus, Akershus. The company resells and supports a curated portfolio of branded machinery — including Terex Fuchs material handlers (15–150 tonnes, in diesel, electric, battery, and Modular+ hybrid configurations), Eggersmann / Peterson shredders, ANIS Trend and Idromec balers and shears, Genesis shears, Terra Select screeners, Tesab and Lippmann crushers and stackers, McLanahan washing and classification plants, and Kramer wheel loaders — to Norwegian recycling, quarrying, scrap metal, and maritime operators. Within the Kiesel family, Kiesel Norge is the only entity delivering Fuchs loaders for cargo-ship mounting, a niche it has built since 2010 with 40–120 tonne boat-mounted machines.

The company operates a field-sales-led B2B distribution model with regional sales representatives covering the South, North, and West of Norway, supplemented by a Trondheim service department, a Stavanger office co-located at service partner Haugsland AS, and a nationwide service-and-parts network. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales, with aftermarket service, spare parts, and rental/leasing (via Nasta Utleie) forming a recurring layer. The customer base is enterprise and municipal — spanning operators such as Stena Recycling, Rimol Miljøpark (AF Gruppen), Retura Shmil, Vadsø Miljø og Gjenvinning, Sibelco, and Østbø — with long, consultative sales cycles covering configuration, delivery, commissioning, and operator training.

Kiesel Norge is a partially owned subsidiary of NASTA Group, whose co-owners are Sørenco AS and Kiesel GmbH (Hanover, Germany-founded 1958, 1,000+ employees across 80+ European branches). Nasta AS became a co-owner in 2017. The company has been Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) certified since 2017 (re-certified 2020 and 2023), a 16-person dedicated team, and has steadily broadened its product surface since 2022 — adding Tesab/Lippmann aggregates equipment, McLanahan washing plants, and (in 2025) BRT Hartner stationary system solutions — while pivoting its go-to-market toward battery-electric and hybrid material handlers aligned with Norwegian ESG procurement trends.

Revenue model

1. Equipment and Machinery Sales: Kiesel Norge AS generates the majority of its revenue through the sale of industrial machinery and equipment, including material handlers, grinders, balers, shears, screens, crushers, stackers, and wheel loaders. Products are sourced from international manufacturers (Terex Fuchs, Eggersmann, Tesab, Lippmann, McLanahan, Kramer, Idromec, ANIS Trend, Genesis, etc.) and sold directly to Norwegian customers. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, typically involving consultation, configuration, delivery, and commissioning.
2. Aftermarket (Service, Parts, Repairs): The company provides service, repairs, and spare parts for all equipment it delivers, through its own service engineers and service partners across Norway. Service revenue includes spare parts sales, labour for repairs and maintenance, and routine servicing. The company also offers equipment rental and leasing through Nasta Utleie.
3. Equipment Rental and Leasing: Kiesel Norge offers machine rental over short or longer periods for machines in stock. New machines can also be leased through agreements with Nasta Utleie. This represents an additional revenue and customer-acquisition stream.

Product overview

Kiesel Norge AS is a distributor and supplier of machines and equipment to the recycling, quarrying, construction, and materials handling industries in Norway. It does not develop a single unified software product; rather, it resells and distributes a broad portfolio of branded equipment from multiple international manufacturers. The portfolio centres on Terex Fuchs material handlers (15–150 tonnes, available in diesel, electric, battery, and Modular+ hybrid configurations) as the core product line, complemented by shredders (Eggersmann Teuton/Forus, Peterson/Astec), balers and presses (ANIS Trend, Idromec), metal shears (Genesis, Idromec), grabbers and magnets (Fuchs polygrabbers, Zijtveld, Petras Hydraulika, HGT, Gauss Magneti), screeners (Terra Select/Eggersmann, Tesab, Lippmann), wheel loaders and telehandlers (Kramer Industrial Line), boat-mounted loaders (Fuchs-based, 40–120 tonnes), and the Tesab/Lippmann crushing, screening and stacking range. From 2023, the offering expanded to include McLanahan aggregate washing and classification equipment (UltraWASH, filter presses, log washers, sand classifying tanks). BRT Hartner stationary system solutions were added in 2025. The company also provides spare parts, after-market service, equipment rental, and leasing through Nasta.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Finnish-listed aggregates and mining equipment manufacturer that acquired Tesab (2022) and Lippmann (2019). Comparable as the OEM behind key Kiesel Norge crushing and screening lines, but operating at much larger global scale.
• Eggersmann Recycling Technology: German manufacturer of shredders, screeners, and stationary recycling plants (Teuton, Forus, Terra Select, BRT Hartner). Comparable as a Tier-1 supplier whose products Kiesel Norge distributes in Norway, but operates as an OEM rather than a distributor.
• Kiesel GmbH: German parent of Kiesel Norge and broader Kiesel Group with 1,000+ employees across 80+ European branches. Comparable as a multi-brand heavy equipment distributor for recycling, quarrying, and construction, though broader in geography and scope than Kiesel Norge.
• Terex Corporation: US-listed parent of Terex Fuchs material handlers. Comparable as the OEM behind Kiesel Norge's core product line; broader incumbent in material handling, aerial work platforms, and crushing across global markets.

Direct peers

• Volvo Maskin AS: Norwegian dealer for Volvo Construction Equipment. Direct peer distributing heavy equipment to construction, aggregates, and infrastructure customers with a similar enterprise field-sales model.
• Pon Equipment AS: Norwegian Caterpillar dealer and part of Pon Holdings. Direct peer as a field-sales-led distributor of heavy construction and mining machinery, serving overlapping customer segments in construction, quarrying, and infrastructure.
• Komatsu Norge: Norwegian distributor of Komatsu construction and mining equipment. Direct peer offering excavators, wheel loaders, and material handling equipment to enterprise customers with similar after-sales service requirements.
• Nasta AS: Norwegian construction equipment distributor and Hitachi dealer since 1929. Direct peer in industrial equipment distribution, with nationwide service network; also a co-owner of Kiesel Norge through the NASTA Group structure.

Emerging players

• Manitou Scandinavia: Scandinavian arm of French material handling and telehandler OEM. Partial overlap with Kiesel Norge in industrial material handling equipment for recycling and industrial customers.

Others

• WEEE / Wee.no: Norwegian operator in the waste and recycling value chain. Adjacent rather than directly comparable, but interacts with Kiesel Norge as a potential customer for recycling and material handling equipment.
