Veisikring

What Veisikring does

Veisikring, now operating as Garda Road Safety following a 2024 merger with Trygg Vei, is a privately held Norwegian specialty contractor that installs and maintains road and bridge safety barriers throughout Norway. The company offers three core product lines: standardized and custom road and bridge railings (Veg- og brurekkverk), concrete barriers under the Profilbetong sub-brand, and bespoke safety solutions developed in collaboration with leading partners and in-house advisors. Its customer base is dominated by Norwegian public-sector buyers, including the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and municipal infrastructure authorities, with reference projects on assets such as the Vålerenga Tunnel in Oslo and the Trollstigen scenic route.

The business is project-based and sales-led, with experienced advisors consulting directly with government and construction-company customers to scope, supply, and install compliant barrier systems. Revenue is generated from one-time infrastructure contracts rather than recurring or licensed streams; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through custom quotation per project. The company is ISO 9001 certified, reports under Norway's Transparency Act, and has publicly emphasized CO2-friendly product development with suppliers as a sustainability differentiator.

Following the merger, the combined entity operates from a single headquarters in Solbergelva outside Drammen with approximately 90 employees, consolidating two of the largest players in a small domestic niche. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external PE or VC ownership, no funding rounds on record, and no disclosed revenue figure. Its competitive position rests on 30+ years of regulatory expertise, an experienced advisory and installation workforce, and a modern machine fleet, rather than on proprietary software or technology platforms.
