Accella Solutions

What Accella Solutions does

Accella Solutions AS is a privately-held Norwegian technology company headquartered in Oslo (Ryensvingen 5, Org.nr. 971.050.756) that develops the Accella Terminal Automation System (TAS), a modular software platform for automating the import, storage, blending, additive injection, and export of liquid petroleum products at tank terminals. Founded originally in 1960 and reorganized into its current automation focus in 1975 (under the predecessor name Norapp AS), the company markets Accella TAS alongside complementary equipment — PLC and field instrumentation (Omron), tank gauging (Rosemount Raptor), loading arms and overfill prevention (OPW), additive systems (Addotronic), valves (J.S. Cock), and flow meters and temperature gauges (Emerson, Endress+Hauser) — bundled into turnkey solutions. The software is built on a microservices architecture deployable in cloud, PLC (Omron), WCF, and mobile clients, and is configurable for single terminals or network-based central operation across regional, national, and global terminal chains. Version 3.8 received EU MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) certification in February 2023, authorizing its use in regulated custody-transfer measurement.

The company sells through direct enterprise field sales to tank terminal operators in the Nordic and Baltic region — Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — with more than 70 terminals deployed. Named customers include Circle K (14 fuel depots), Kalundborg Refinery (Denmark's largest oil refinery, end-to-end import-to-billing automation at Kalundborg and Hedehusene), and Arendal Havn (operator of the Sandvikodden tank facility, supplying up to 25% of Norway's HVO biofuel needs). Revenue mechanics combine turnkey EPC-style project delivery (multi-million kroner), per-project professional services and engineering (project management, procurement, SCADA/PLC programming, commissioning), and equipment resale — with per-project values ranging from a few thousand to several million kroner. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Headcount stood at approximately 12 employees as of 2023, with projected turnover of ~40 million NOK (roughly US$3.8M). Ownership is private; since 2022, Morten Solberg has been the company's largest shareholder, succeeding an earlier period under the Tiedemanns Group (which acquired the operating entity in 1984). GTM is relationship-driven, with recurring service agreements and extended support hours offered to contracted customers.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: Global industrial automation and electrification vendor (System 800xA, ABB Ability). Active in oil, gas and chemicals with both DCS-level solutions and tank gauging offerings through legacy brands.
• Siemens: SIMATIC PCS 7 / Neo and SCADA offerings compete for refinery and terminal automation mandates. Much broader portfolio but with direct overlap in process automation for tank terminals.
• Emerson Process Management: Major automation supplier with DeltaV DCS, Rosemount instrumentation, and tank gauging products. Already an Accella integration partner; competes head-on for full-scope terminal automation contracts.
• Honeywell Process Solutions: Global incumbent in process automation (Experion, Enraf tank gauging) serving oil & gas terminals worldwide. Overlaps with Accella at the tank terminal and refinery automation layer but operates at vastly larger scale across all process industries.
• Endress+Hauser: Leading instrumentation supplier for flow, level, temperature and analytical measurement. Supplies Accella but also sells directly into tank terminals with its own automation and inventory management solutions.
• Rockwell Automation: Industrial automation incumbent (ControlLogix, FactoryTalk) with growing presence in process and terminal applications. Competes with Accella on PLC/SCADA stack choice for terminal operators.
• Yokogawa Electric: CENTUM VP DCS and field instruments widely deployed in refineries and petrochemical terminals. Direct competitor for full-scope terminal automation projects, especially with European downstream customers.

Direct peers

• VEGA Grieshaber: Specialist in level and pressure measurement for tank gauging and process instrumentation. Comparable to Accella as a niche measurement-and-control vendor serving tank terminals and adjacent process industries.
• KROHNE: Process instrumentation manufacturer with strong tank gauging and flow measurement offering for oil & gas terminals. Competes with Accella's equipment portfolio and increasingly with integrated automation solutions.
• Implico Group: European software vendor specialized in downstream oil automation, terminal management, and tank terminal IT (e.g., iGOS, OpenTAS). Closest direct competitor to Accella TAS in the European tank terminal software niche.
