Garda Sikring

What Garda Sikring does

Garda Sikring, legally Heras Norway AS, is Norway's leading provider of integrated physical and technical security solutions, serving construction, critical infrastructure, ports, data centres, industrial facilities, public sector, and residential customers. The company was originally founded in 1924, giving it more than 100 years of Norwegian operating history, and was rebranded to Heras in April 2026 to align with European sister companies under the Heras Group, which employs roughly 3,000 people across Europe and is identified as Europe's leading perimeter and physical security provider. Norway-specific operations employ approximately 360 staff.

The product portfolio spans physical perimeter security — fencing (mobile, fixed, high-security Securifor mesh), gates, bollards, road barriers, road blockers, industrial doors, and the ECO sustainability line — combined with technical security systems (access control, CCTV, alarms, intercoms, locks). Differentiated offerings include PAS68/IWA14-1 certified hostile-vehicle-mitigation bollards and barriers, ISPS-compliant port-security systems, and Securifor high-security fencing in 3-4m heights with steel-plate infill. Custom aluminium and steel fabrication is performed in-house at the Haugesund/Frakkagjerd production facility, alongside a nine-warehouse Norwegian logistics network.

The business model combines one-time product sales and project-based installation revenue (custom quotation per project) with recurring 24/7 service and maintenance agreements. The company is sales-led, with nine regional offices (Bergen, Haugesund, Kristiansand, Sandnes, Steinberg, Stokke, Trondheim, Ålesund, Østlandet) handling enterprise field sales, site consultations, and tendering for infrastructure, industrial, and public-sector customers, supplemented by inside sales and a product-catalogue channel for SMB and consumer buyers. Certifications (ISO 27001, StartBANK, TransQ, Grønt Punkt Norge) and EcoVadis ESG recognition support eligibility for regulated and public-sector contracts.
