Agder Veitransport AS

What Agder Veitransport AS does

Agder Veitransport AS is a privately held Norwegian road-transport and logistics operator headquartered at Åneveien 3, Kvavik in Lyngdal (Agder), founded in autumn 1973 by Olav B. Løland at age 18. The company runs a specialized fleet of 9 tractor units plus 1 semi-trailer for local and long-distance transport, supported by thermo trucks for temperature-sensitive cargo, container trucks, a range of Effer crane trucks (31–95 t/m lifting capacity, reach up to 38 m), tipper trucks, excavators, and wheel loaders. Its primary service area spans southern Norway from Østlandet to Rogaland along the Sørlandskysten, with international transport available on request, and it operates container and waste-flow services through its jointly controlled entity Gjenvinning Sør-Vest AS (GSV).

The customer base spans private individuals with simple transport needs and large enterprises requiring specialized competence, with the construction and building-materials vertical (insulation, timber, roof tiles, ready-mixed concrete) as the primary segment and long-standing clients such as Glava. Historically it has also served government clients including Statens Vegvesen and Lyngdal Kommune, and industrial accounts such as Elkem/Alcoa. Pricing is quote-based, transactional, and tailored to cargo type, distance, equipment, and project complexity; customer acquisition relies on direct contact (phone 38 33 05 30, email [email protected], contact form), website presence, and word-of-mouth referrals built over nearly fifty years.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis across three streams: local and long-distance transport of building materials, specialized transport (thermo, container, crane, tippers), and equipment hire/usage. The company owns and operates its own fleet from a headquarters site that includes a ~1,000 m² freight terminal (added 2002) and a 10-decade truck parking area (added 1998), and maintains an in-house mechanical workshop for container repairs. The legal entity is a private Norwegian limited company (NO 937 564 007 MVA), founder-owned, with no external equity, debt, or public-market presence disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• DB Schenker Norway: Norwegian arm of DB Schenker's European land transport and contract logistics network. Provides general freight trucking, specialized transport, and integrated logistics solutions across Norway — overlapping directly with Agder Veitransport's general-freight and building materials haulage.
• DSV A/S: Global freight forwarding and logistics giant headquartered in Denmark with substantial Norwegian operations, offering road, air, sea, and contract logistics. Competes with Agder Veitransport for general-freight contracts in the same Østlandet-to-Rogaland and wider Norwegian corridors, but at vastly larger scale.
• DHL Supply Chain Norway: DHL's Norwegian road freight and contract logistics division. Competes for the same enterprise general-freight contracts as Agder Veitransport, including construction and industrial materials haulage, while also serving e-commerce and consumer goods customers at scale.
• PostNord AB: Pan-Nordic postal and logistics group with significant road freight operations in Norway, including general cargo and specialized transport. A broader incumbent that competes for the same regional general-freight work Agder Veitransport performs.
• Bring (Posten Norge): Norwegian postal group's logistics and freight arm, providing domestic parcel and general freight trucking across Norway. Overlaps with Agder Veitransport's general-freight haulage in the same southern Norway corridors and competes for enterprise and construction-material contracts.
• Kuehne+Nagel Norway: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with Norwegian road and intermodal services. Operates general freight trucking across southern Norway similar to Agder Veitransport, but with much larger fleet, network density, and digital procurement tools.

Others

• CargoNet AS: Norwegian rail freight operator transporting containerized and bulk freight across southern Norway. Not a direct road-haul competitor, but a substitute and adjacent logistics provider serving similar industrial and construction-material customers along overlapping corridors.

Direct peers

• Nor Lines AS: Norwegian coastal and short-sea freight carrier operating combined road and sea services along the Norwegian coast, including southern Norway. Comparable in operating model — a regionally focused Norwegian transport operator serving B2B and industrial customers — though it adds a maritime leg.
• Greencarrier Freight Group: Nordic freight forwarder offering road, sea, and air freight services across the Nordics. Direct comparable to Agder Veitransport in serving construction and industrial customers in southern Norway with general road freight services.

Regional players

• Samskip GmbH: Nordic multimodal logistics provider with combined sea, road, and rail freight services. Comparable to Agder Veitransport in serving Nordic industrial and construction customers, but broader in scope (multimodal) and headquartered in Hamburg/Hamburg with strong Norwegian presence.
