Fana Blikk

What Fana Blikk does

Fana Blikk AS is a private, family-owned Norwegian limited company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Nesttun (Bergen), operating as the core entity within the Fana Blikk Gruppen conglomerate. The company provides three integrated services: roofing (taktekking), sheet metal work (blikkenslager), and ventilation (ventilasjon), supported by an on-site custom metal fabrication workshop and a retail store branded Tak og Ventilasjon. Roofing capabilities span tile, slate, zinc, standing-seam metal, PVC membrane (via authorized Protan dealership), and asphalt systems; sheet metal work covers flashings, facades, chimneys, and roof safety; ventilation spans residential balanced systems with heat recovery (delivered as a principal Systemair/Villavent supplier on Norway's west coast), industrial ventilation, kitchen exhaust, radon mitigation, and recurring service contracts.

The company serves a mixed customer base: private homeowners (primary segment), housing cooperatives (BOB BBL, OBOS, Vestbo), public sector institutions under frame agreements (Bergen Kommune, Universitetet i Bergen, Akasia), and heritage/cultural buildings (Mariakirken, Troldhaugen, the Bryggen UNESCO site, Fana Kirke, Dr. Holms Hotel). It employs approximately 80 people, with the broader group (Fana Blikk, Fana Bygg AS, FBS Stillas) totaling 100+ employees.

Revenue is generated through project-based installation and construction contracts (one-time), retail product sales through both the physical store and takogventilasjon.no e-commerce platform, and annual service/maintenance agreements on installed ventilation systems (recurring). Go-to-market is multi-channel: a 10-vehicle leak-detection fleet providing on-site inspections and free consultations, direct enterprise sales to housing cooperatives and public sector buyers, and a PRISMATCH price-match guarantee used as a competitive lever. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; Enova government subsidies (up to NOK 15,000) are available for balanced ventilation installations. The company holds ISO 9001, Miljøfyrtårn (2019), Sentral Godkjenning, Mesterbrev, and Åpenhetsloven compliance certifications, and serves exclusively the Bergen and surrounding Hordaland region.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Kruse Smith Entreprenør AS: Bergen-headquartered Norwegian contractor with a strong regional building envelope and construction portfolio. Operates in the same geographic market as Fana Blikk with overlapping trades (roofing, sheet metal, general contracting), making it the closest direct regional competitor.
• Mesterbygg AS: Norwegian construction and contracting group with multiple regional offices including western Norway. Overlaps with Fana Blikk in building envelope services, sheet metal, and project-based contractor work for residential and commercial clients.
• Skarpnes AS: Norwegian roofing manufacturer and installer producing steel roofing sheets, rainwater systems, and cladding. Competes directly with Fana Blikk in the residential and light-commercial roofing segment, particularly in western Norway.

Broad incumbents

• Veidekke ASA: One of the largest Scandinavian construction and civil engineering groups, with significant Norwegian operations in residential, commercial, and infrastructure. A broad incumbent that competes for larger building envelope and roofing contracts, though not specialized in Fana Blikk's heritage/restoration niche.
• Skanska Norge AS: Norwegian arm of the global Skanska Group, active in commercial building, residential, and civil infrastructure. Competes for the largest Norwegian construction tenders including public sector frame agreements analogous to Fana Blikk's Bergen Kommune and UiB contracts.
• NCC Norge AS: Nordic construction group with substantial Norwegian operations in residential development, commercial buildings, and infrastructure. Competes for large roofing and building envelope tenders, especially on housing cooperative and public sector projects.
• AF Gruppen ASA: Major Norwegian construction and civil engineering group operating across building, infrastructure, and property. Overlaps with Fana Blikk on larger commercial roofing, ventilation, and renovation projects but at a much broader portfolio scale.

Regional players

• ByggPartner AB: Swedish mid-market construction group operating across building envelope and general contracting. Comparable in scale and service mix to Fana Blikk but focused on the Swedish market, illustrating how a similar regional player operates in an adjacent Nordic geography.

Others

• BMI Group (Icopal): Global roofing and waterproofing systems manufacturer (parent of Icopal) supplying membranes, tiles, and accessories used by Fana Blikk on its own projects. Adjacent rather than competing — relevant as an ecosystem participant and supply-chain benchmark for product economics.

Emerging players

• HENT AS: Growing Norwegian general contractor focused on commercial building projects, with expanding regional presence. Represents an emerging mid-tier competitor that could pressure Fana Blikk's positioning on mid-sized commercial and public sector contracts.
