What Stork does

Stork AS is a Norwegian total-supplier (totalleverandør) of electrical, lighting, smart-home, and building-automation products, founded in 1936 and headquartered in Kolsås. The company operates four divisions — Elektro (electrical components and KNX bus-based systems), Smarthus (smart-home via Delta Dore technology), Belysning (LED lighting including downlights, profiles, strips, drivers, and DALI/Tuya RF controls), and Automasjon (sensors, HVAC regulators, valves, frequency converters, and wireless EnOcean and Regin products) — serving both residential and commercial/private-and-public building customers across Norway.

The technology stack centers on standardized open protocols (KNX, EnOcean, DALI, Delta Dore RF) integrated with industrial automation components from a defined supplier ecosystem led by Regin (system controllers such as EXOcompact, EXOclever, and EXOflex), MDT (KNX switches, RF+ line couplers, weather stations), and Easywave (wireless KNX). The firm carries a broad certified product catalog with Norwegian-language technical content, an active B2B web shop with account-based pricing, and uses an internal newsletter (InfoStorken) for product launches. ISO 14001 environmental certification is referenced on the website, and a partner product (Regin's Regio RCX) won a 2025 Red Dot Design Award.

The business model is B2B hardware distribution and light-systems supply in Norway, generating revenue through direct sales to electrical installers, building contractors, and end-clients in both residential and commercial segments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is account-gated behind login. The company employs 11-50 people, holds no disclosed funding, and operates without evidence of equity investors, M&A, or public-market activity. Strategic positioning rests on broad multi-vendor catalog depth, KNX/automation specialization, and incremental 2025 product expansion (Lika encoders, Trafag SF6 monitor, Regio RCX, BEG Aleum Glow) rather than on proprietary technology.
