What CONTAINERTECH AS does

CONTAINERTECH AS is a Norwegian manufacturer of custom-engineered ISO container-based modular solutions, founded in 2007 by Trond-Aage Krosby and headquartered in Askim, Norway, with production facilities in Bygland (water treatment products) and Askim (industrial, construction, and defense products). Since December 2021 the company has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Norwegian holding group AMV AS. In September 2023 Containertech merged with sister company Skild AS to consolidate market position across its verticals, and in 2023 it divested its rental operation (Containertech Rental AS) to Renta Infra AS while retaining Renta and four regional rental partners as outsourced rental distribution.

The firm's core technology is built on ISO-standardized Corten A steel containers modified with full in-house mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), ventilation, refrigeration, and control systems integration. The product portfolio spans water treatment containers (sand/oil separators per NS-EN 858-1, heavy metal removal using Leca Filtralite HMR, pH adjustment, filter presses, automated filter switching with GSM remote monitoring), generator containers up to 700kW+, hydraulic roof krokcontainers up to 55m³ for slurry and basin handling, tunnel ventilation control containers with ABB variable frequency drives, defense containers (NATO/STANAG-compliant, EMP-shielded, Arctic/desert variants, IICL re-certifiable), workshop modules, accommodation/office modules, oil and diesel storage, rescue/HMS modules, and ISO transport containers. In-house testing rigs enable ISO/TC-104, CSC, UIC 592-2 OR, TIR, Stanag 2413, and Swedish Standard 3021 compliance.
