Norva24 Group

What Norva24 Group does

Norva24 Group is the leading Northern European provider of Underground Infrastructure Maintenance (UIM) services, operating more than 85 branches across Norway, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark with over 2,000 employees and supporting approximately 60,000 customers annually. The company is organized as a Swedish public limited company (Norva24 Group AB) with operational headquarters in Oslo, and since May 2025 has been privately held by Apax Funds following a SEK 6.63 billion take-private from Nasdaq Stockholm. Its roots trace back to 1919 in Norway, and the Group has executed more than 50 acquisitions since 2015 to consolidate a highly fragmented regional services market.

The core service portfolio comprises three pillars: (1) Emptying Services (septic tanks, grease separators, oil separators, sand traps); (2) Pipe Services (cleaning, TV/robot inspection, relining, vacuum excavation); and (3) High-Pressure Washing (400-3000 bar for industrial and commercial cleaning). Underlying capabilities include proprietary technology such as the in-house developed IRG pipe inspection method with digital sensors and IoT monitoring, combi vehicles with combined vacuum and flushing capacity, an electric flushing vehicle program (Norva24 Denmark), and a multifunction aquaculture vessel (Norva24 Sea). The Group is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified across its Norwegian entities.

Norva24 generates revenue on a professional-services model through public procurement framework contracts with municipalities and government-owned utilities, direct commercial agreements with property companies and housing associations, and contracts with industrial customers. Most engagements are multi-year (2-6 year terms with extension options). FY2024 statutory revenue was 3,631 MNOK with +15.2% reported growth, +6% organic growth, and a 10.6% adjusted EBITA margin (384 MNOK), with recent M&A adding ~200 MNOK of pro forma annual revenue through the December 2025 Cleanpipe, Cija Tank, and southern Germany acquisitions.

Regional players

• Biffa: UK-based integrated waste management company providing collection, treatment and disposal services. A regional peer addressing similar municipal and industrial customers with overlapping refuse/sanitary services, but operating in the UK rather than Norva24's Nordic/German footprint.
• Berliner Wasserbetriebe: Municipal water and wastewater operator for Berlin. Comparable as a German regional player in the same underground water/sewage infrastructure space where Norva24 operates through its Berlin CKS/Jutzy subsidiaries.

Broad incumbents

• Renewi: Dutch-listed European waste-to-product company operating in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK. Comparable as a broader environmental services platform that competes for some of the same municipal and industrial waste/sewage customers as Norva24.
• Veolia Environnement: Global environmental services leader with significant water, wastewater and municipal infrastructure services in Northern Europe. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the sanitary/environmental services space where Norva24 operates, but operates at vastly greater scale across many verticals.
• Clean Harbors: North American environmental and industrial services provider offering industrial cleaning, waste management and emergency response. Comparable as a broad environmental services incumbent with industrial high-pressure cleaning and waste handling similar to Norva24's pressure washing and emptying services, but operating primarily in North America.
• Remondis: German family-owned environmental services giant offering waste, recycling, water and sewer services across Europe. Comparable as a broader environmental services incumbent that overlaps with Norva24's emptying and pipe services, though Remondis is far larger and not specialized in UIM.
• Severn Trent: UK-listed regulated water and wastewater utility. Comparable as a broader water/sewer infrastructure operator serving municipal customers with overlapping maintenance requirements, though primarily UK-focused and vertically integrated.
• Suez / SAUR: European water and waste services incumbents with municipal infrastructure maintenance offerings across Europe. Both overlap with Norva24's sewer maintenance, water network services and customer base, though they serve many additional segments.
• FCC Environment (FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente): Spanish-headquartered environmental services provider operating municipal waste, sewer cleaning and water services across Europe including in Germany and the Nordics. Comparable as a broad European incumbent competing for similar municipal UIM/sanitary contracts.

Emerging players

• Rädlinger zemsbau: German mid-sized civil engineering and pipe/sewer services contractor active in trenchless pipe rehabilitation, pipe cleaning and sewer construction. Comparable as a more specialized, smaller-scale German player overlapping with Norva24's pipe relining and sewer services.
