Kaspo Maskin AS is a Trondheim-headquartered, privately held Norwegian distributor of CNC machine tools, tooling, and workshop equipment, founded in 1990 and led by CEO Dag J. Strømmen. The company supplies Norwegian industrial workshops (verkstedindustrien) with a curated portfolio spanning CNC lathes (Okuma GENOS, Multus, Citizen Swiss-type, Pietro Carnaghi large turning centers, Gurutzpe), vertical and horizontal machining centers (Okuma, Ibarmia Z Extreme, Hedelius, Makino a91nx, Hartford), 5-axis machines, EDM, grinding, sawing (Kasto), deep hole drilling (Tibo), additive manufacturing (SLM Solutions), automation, and complementary tooling and measurement systems from ZOLLER and others.
The business operates a direct, enterprise field-sales model with regional sales managers covering Rogaland/Trøndelag, Østlandet and Vestlandet, and quote-based, project-specific pricing on multi-year engagements. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, recurring service contracts delivered through a nationwide network of 15 service technicians (supplemented by sister company Wictus AS for machine maintenance), tools and spare parts, and fee-based CNC operator and programmer training delivered at the in-house Orstad training center covering ISO programming, Okuma OSP and Heidenhain controls.

- Makino Europe: European operations of Japanese high-precision CNC machining center manufacturer Makino, which Kaspo distributes in Norway. Compares as a premium-brand incumbent overlapping on heavy/5-axis machining center demand in Scandinavia.
- Seco Tools: Swedish-owned manufacturer of metal cutting tools and digital machining solutions. Comparable as a tooling and digital machining incumbent whose products overlap with Kaspo's tooling portfolio and whose direct Nordic presence competes for similar workshop budgets.
- Hoffmann Group: European industrial tools, metrology and workshop supply distributor. Comparable as a larger broad-line industrial distributor that competes for tooling, clamping, measurement, and consumables spend from the same Norwegian workshop customers.
- Trumpf Group: German machine tool and laser/3D printing manufacturer. Comparable as a broad incumbent in metalworking machinery that competes with Kaspo's portfolio (particularly SLM Solutions–distributed additive systems and Hedelius milling centers) for the same industrial customers.
- Sandvik Coromant: Global metal-cutting tooling and machining solutions provider. Comparable as an incumbent competitor in the tooling and metalworking consumables category that Kaspo distributes to the same Norwegian workshop customer base.
- Okuma Europe GmbH: European arm of Japanese CNC machine builder Okuma, whose full product line Kaspo distributes in Norway. Comparable because Okuma competes with Kaspo's other represented brands (Makino, Ibarmia) for the same end-customer wallet.
