What Blindheim maskin & transport does

Blindheim Maskin & Transport AS is a privately held Norwegian construction and ground work contractor headquartered in Ålesund, operating across the Sunnmøre region since 1997. The company delivers complete foundation and ground work services for commercial, municipal, and private customers, including excavation, blasting, water and sewage installation, drainage, asphalting, fiber installation, landscaping, natural stone wall construction, material transport, and surveying. It complements these services with a retail aggregate business, selling crushed stone, gravel, sand, screened soil, and decorative Visnes marble aggregates through an in-house e-commerce store with delivery calculated by postal code.

The company's operating platform is built on a modern equipment fleet of 15 excavators, 5 wheel loaders, and 3 trucks, all meeting Stage V EU emissions and Euro 6 standards. A new Volvo 15-ton excavator consumes 5.3 liters of fuel per hour versus 15 liters per hour for comparable machines a decade earlier, a roughly 65% efficiency improvement. Blindheim operates two recycling facilities at Flisnes for soil and stone reuse and is co-owner of the Alvika mass recovery facility, enabling closed-loop material flows and reducing both aggregate purchase costs and transport emissions. The business holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, Norwegian Central Approval (Sentral godkjent), and is an approved training company across four construction trades.

Blindheim generates revenue through professional services contracts (excavation, blasting, ground work) on a project basis with both private and public clients, supplemented by one-time aggregate sales through the online store. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging a 25-year track record in Sunnmøre, with notable enterprise customers including Mostein, Waagan Holding, Bertelsen & Garpestad, RAM Entreprenør, NB boliger, Ålesund Sykehus, and Tafjord Kraftvarme, alongside a framework agreement with Ålesund municipality signed in 2013. The company signed its largest single contract in 2019 and reported annual revenue of approximately 80 million NOK with 25 employees as of 2022.
