What Øveraasen does

Øveraasen AS, founded in 1908 and headquartered in Gjøvik, Norway, designs, manufactures, and services professional snow removal equipment for airports, roads, and railways. The product portfolio is organized into three segments: Airport Equipment (RS-series runway sweepers from the compact RS 100 to the world's-largest RS 600 Performance Line, RSC compact sweepers, EP-series element ploughs, UTV unit snow blowers, and TV-series self-propelled snow blowers culminating in the 2,100 hp TV 2100), Road Equipment (diagonal, swing, V-plough, U-plough, spissplog, Z-plough, the patented RELAX/SMOOTH MOTION/TurboWing designs, Meiren ploughs as distributor, and Dücker summer-maintenance attachments), and Railroad Equipment (V 100/V 130/150 H PS split snow blowers, track cleaners, and hydraulic power packs).

Autonomous snow clearing is co-developed through Yeti Snow Technology AS, a joint venture with Semcon and Husqvarna.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining enterprise field sales (Global Sales Manager, Sweden sales manager, Key Account Manager) with an extensive dealer network spanning 20+ countries across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Revenue is generated through three streams: capital equipment sales (primary), aftermarket service and spare parts (including an October-to-April emergency hotline), and the Fleet Cloud subscription layer. Major customers include Avinor/Oslo Airport (400 MNOK 8-year framework with autonomous solutions), Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (66-unit record order), Swedavia (100 MNOK for 20 RS 400 sweepers), Istanbul Airport, Incheon Airport, Paris Airports (ADP), Amsterdam Schiphol, Finavia, FMV Swedish Defence, and Bundeswehr. Distribution is anchored by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Sweden (Øveraasen Sverige AB, established 2020) and Germany (Øveraasen Deutschland GmbH, established 2015), complemented by strategic partners including Bucher Municipal (UK), Yeti Move (Nordics), and Team Eagle (North America). The company is family-controlled, ISO 9001/14001 and AQAP certified, and remains privately held with no external institutional investment disclosed.
