What Tepas Industrier does

Tepas Industrier AS is a Norwegian contract sheet metal manufacturer founded in 1971 and headquartered at Vestsidevegen 51, Trysil, Norway. The company designs and produces advanced products in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum for businesses across the Nordic region, with a focus on short series production of approximately 1,000 units per product. Its operating model is a one-stop, design-to-delivery sheet metal platform spanning five capabilities (AutoDesk Inventor-based CAD design, CNC punching, laser cutting, CNC bending up to 125 tons, welding in TIG/MIG/MAG, and powder coating up to 4,500 units/hour), plus assembly, warehouse, and in-house logistics within Østlandet supplemented by Nordic logistics partners.

The company operates a modern, LEAN-principled production facility with CNC automation and a proprietary Material and Production Management System (MPS) that links approved construction drawings directly to production machinery, ensuring version control and continuous data flow from design to finished part. Tepas Industrier holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certifications and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the diversified Norwegian group Tepas Konsern.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-priced contracts with Nordic enterprise customers for one-off design and series production work; the company initiates relationships via free, non-binding idea meetings and direct sales engagement. The customer base is concentrated in Norwegian and Scandinavian businesses requiring custom sheet metal components, assembly, and logistics. Johan Gradin was appointed Managing Director in November 2024, and the senior leadership includes heads of product development, production, sales/marketing, logistics, and customer relations.

Emerging players

• Plannja: Swedish metal roofing, façade, and rainwater systems manufacturer using sheet-metal forming processes comparable to Tepas's capabilities. Comparable in Nordic metal-products manufacturing but focused on construction end-markets rather than industrial custom fabrication.

Direct peers

• Inission AB: Swedish-listed Nordic contract manufacturer with operations in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, providing industrial customers with mechanics, electronics, and custom manufacturing services. Directly comparable as a multi-site Nordic contract fabricator targeting similar enterprise customer segments.
• Note AB: Swedish-listed Nordic contract manufacturer with Swedish and international production facilities serving industrial customers with custom manufacturing and electronics. Comparable to Tepas in Nordic B2B contract manufacturing orientation though more electronics-weighted.
• Hanza AB: Swedish-listed industrial contract manufacturer with multiple Nordic production sites offering mechanics, electronics, and sheet-metal assembly under one roof. Closely comparable to Tepas as a Nordic contract manufacturer serving B2B customers with integrated production services.

Broad incumbents

• Lindab: Swedish-listed manufacturer of metal building products (roofing, wall, ventilation) using similar sheet-metal forming, coating, and profiling processes as Tepas. Comparable as a Nordic metal-product manufacturer but operates at substantially larger scale and serves construction end-markets.
• SSAB: Swedish-listed Nordic steel producer of high-strength steel and standard plate products. Comparable as a Nordic metals incumbent whose steel is a primary input for Tepas's fabrication work; serves both as upstream supplier and broad industry incumbent.
• Outokumpu: Finnish-listed global leader in stainless steel manufacturing with Nordic production footprint. Comparable as a Nordic metals heavyweight whose stainless steel is an input material for Tepas's fabrication work; serves as both potential supplier and large incumbent competitor at scale.

Others

• BE Group: Leading Nordic steel and metal distributor serving industrial customers in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Baltics. Comparable ecosystem participant supplying similar Nordic B2B metal buyers that Tepas serves, though operating in distribution rather than fabrication.
• Tibnor: Major Nordic steel and metal distributor serving industrial and construction customers across Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. Comparable as a Nordic metals supply-chain participant overlapping with Tepas's customer base and sourcing channels.

Regional players

• Hatteland Group: Norwegian diversified industrial group with multiple subsidiaries spanning technology, real estate, and industrial activities. Comparable as a Norwegian industrial group structure parallel to Tepas Konsern, though Hatteland's portfolio skews to display/embedded technology rather than metal fabrication.
