Directly comparable wholesale function, overlapping customer base in Norwegian offshore and industrial segments.

• Ahlsell Norge: Large Nordic technical wholesaler with a strong Norwegian presence, supplying electrical, HVAC, and industrial products to installers and industry. Comparable electrical distribution and industrial customer overlap, though at much larger scale and broader product breadth.

Others

• WAGO Norway: German specialist in electrical interconnection and automation technology with a Norwegian presence. Adjacent to Bekas as a component vendor whose connection, interface, and automation products are likely part of the 6,000+ SKUs Bekas distributes.

Regional players
