Derbigum Norge

What Derbigum Norge does

Derbigum Norge AS is a Norwegian sales, marketing, and technical-coordination subsidiary of the Belgian Imperbel SA group (Derbigum brand), operating from Sarpsborg, Østfold since 1982. The company distributes asphalt-based bituminous roofing membranes and complete waterproofing systems for flat roofs through a network of 14 authorized dealers across Norway, serving roofing contractors, architects, property owners, and public-sector clients. Its core product portfolio includes DERBIGUM SP FR (standard membrane with BBA-certified 50+ year lifespan), DERBIGUM GC (extra-reinforced civil engineering membrane), DERBIGUM SP AR (root-resistant for green roofs), and the Derbigum NT / Derbicoat NT lines incorporating 25–30% recycled bitumen (Derbitumen) certified by PwC. The 2025 launch of Novitumen — the industry's first bituminous material without virgin bitumen — extends the line into fully circular chemistry. Distribution is exclusively through trained certified contractors, with Derbigum Norge providing free roof inspections, technical documentation, and warranty support rather than performing direct sales. Revenue is generated via one-time membrane and system sales transacted through authorized dealers; pricing is not publicly disclosed. All intellectual property, recycling operations, and manufacturing capacity sit with the Belgian parent, which has recycled 40,000 tons of roofing material and avoided 20,000 tons of CO2 emissions since launching Europe's first industrial bitumen recycling system in 1990.
