What Flow-Teknikk does

Flow-Teknikk AS is a Norwegian specialist distributor of process instrumentation founded in 1982 by Helge Bjørhall, headquartered at Olav Brunborgsvei 27 in Billingstad, Norway. The company sources measurement instruments from manufacturers in the EU, USA, and Australia — including Bronkhorst (thermal mass and Coriolis flow meters), FCI (thermal mass flow meters), Flexim (clamp-on ultrasonic and process refractometers), Heinrichs Messtechnick (Coriolis and vortex), KEM Küppers (Coriolis and gear flow meters), Deckma (oil-in-water monitors), Flowguard (pulsation dampeners), Tecfluid (rotameters), United Electric (wireless gas detection), and Primary Flowpoints (sight glasses) — and sells them directly to industrial process, research and laboratory, offshore oil and gas, marine compliance, and aquaculture customers across Norway. The portfolio spans flow meters (Coriolis, thermal mass, ultrasonic, vortex, electromagnetic, variable area), pressure transmitters, level instruments, process indicators, pulsation dampeners, and analysis instruments; the company claims the broadest Coriolis flow meter range in Norway, spanning 2 g/h to 230,000 kg/h.

The business model is consultative direct sales of third-party hardware with bundled after-sales service, repair, and calibration support. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware resale with markup; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Norway) via a specialist sales engineering team, with three employees certified for offshore travel to support offshore facility visits. Flow-Teknikk has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Addtech — a Nordic technology trading group with approximately 2,900 employees and around 10 billion NOK in revenue — since 2014, and follows Addtech's general terms, code of conduct, and supplier code of conduct.

The current managing director is Aleksander Breivik, and the chairman of the board is Tor Erik Sannum. The company is positioned as one of Norway's leading firms for process instrumentation supply to industry, research, and offshore, though specific company-level revenue, headcount, and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed.
