Igland Garasjen

What Igland Garasjen does

Igland Garasjen AS, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Grimstad, Norway, is a prefabricated garage manufacturer that operates as Norway's self-described leading garage supplier (Norges ledende garasjeleverandør). The company produces timber-frame garages as wall and roof elements at its Grimstad factory, incorporating Huntonit Hard 3mm wood fiber plates for SINTEF-validated wind stabilization, and offers four delivery configurations ranging from fully turnkey assembly to lumber-only material packages. Product portfolio spans seven core models covering pitched, half-hipped, hipped, and near-flat (funkis) roof styles, with extensive customization across dimensions, cladding, doors, and roof pitch. Insulated steel-section garage doors from Norwegian supplier Lobas (U-value 1.3 W/m²·K) and Liftmaster smart openers form the standard door ecosystem.

The business operates across three primary customer segments: individual Norwegian homeowners (villa customers), professional builders and contractors via the proffkunde program, and housing cooperatives (borettslag/sameier) requiring multi-unit row garages. The company runs a sales-led go-to-market anchored by customer advisors, a dedicated customer service center, and a request-for-quote process. Distribution leverages the company's own direct sales plus the Optimera/Montér network of 200+ building material outlets following Optimera's January 2022 acquisition, and a separate e-commerce storefront (igarasjen.no) for accessories and storage sheds. Revenue streams include one-time garage unit sales (across four price tiers), recurring annual service agreements (2,300 NOK/year, extending warranties from 5 to 10 years), standalone garage door and opener sales, and accessory revenue. Additional revenue is generated from garage rehabilitation services and a separately branded online store selling storage sheds and add-on equipment. The company employs approximately 100 staff, achieved Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) environmental certification in 2024, and continues to operate as a standalone entity within the Optimera group.

Revenue model

1. Garage sales (complete units): Igland Garasjen generates the majority of its revenue from the sale of prefabricated garage units. Customers can choose between four delivery/assembly configurations: (1) Fully assembled turnkey garage with professional installation, (2) Element kit for partial self-assembly, (3) Pre-cut kit for advanced DIY, and (4) Material package (lumber only). Prices vary widely based on size, model, and customization level. Garage prices range from basic single-garage models to large multi-unit rekkegarasjer (row garages) for housing cooperatives. The company also generates revenue from the sale of additional equipment and accessories (garage doors, door openers, storage solutions, lighting, snow guards, water table covers, code panels, etc.) through its online store (igarasjen.no).
2. Service and maintenance contracts: Annual service agreements are sold for both villa garages and row garage complexes. Villa garage service agreements are priced at 2,300 NOK per year and include one annual preventive maintenance visit. These agreements extend the warranty period from 5 to 10 years, creating an upsell from the base product. Row garage service contract pricing is customized based on the number of units and scope of work. Revenue is also generated from ad-hoc repair and service work on garage doors and openers.
3. Garage door and opener sales: Isolated Lobas steel garage doors are sold both as standalone replacements and as part of complete garage packages. Door openers from Liftmaster are sold as accessories. Standard Lobas Trend Hvit single-garage door: ~14,700 NOK; double-garage door ~26,400 NOK. Additional accessories include code panels, photocell safety sensors, MyQ smart home gateway, and Homelink receivers. These products are also available in the online store.
4. Storage shed sales: Prefabricated storage sheds (redskapsboder) with saltak (pitched) roofs are sold in sizes from 3×2 m to 3×5 m, available through the online store igarasjen.no. These represent a related product line extension leveraging the company's prefabricated construction capabilities.
5. Professional customer program: The company operates a dedicated proffkunde (professional customer) program targeting builders, contractors, and tradespeople who purchase garages on behalf of end customers. This B2B segment generates project-based revenue with bulk/special pricing, and includes port installation services performed by Igland's own technicians.
