IVAR HOLTE AS

What IVAR HOLTE AS does

Ivar Holte AS is a Norwegian B2B wholesale distributor of plastic packaging, industrial protection products, laboratory articles, and drinking bottles, founded in 1948 and headquartered at Vestvollveien 32, 2019 Skedsmokorset outside Oslo. The company serves customers across Norway from a single warehouse that holds a substantial portion of assortment locally to support fast delivery. Its product portfolio spans four categories: plastic packaging (PET bottles, HDPE bottles, canisters, jars, pails, sprayers/triggers, cans, closures, pumps from Frapak and Emballator), industrial protection (plastic plugs, caps, flange protectors, nut protectors, spacers, masking products), laboratory articles (medical consumables, equipment, and reagents via Deltalab Group), and drinking bottles (sports models and bioplastic lines). Underlying materials include PE/HDPE/LDPE, PP, PET, plus bio-based plastics from sugarcane and recycled-content lines (rPET, PCR, PIR).

The company operates as the Norwegian distribution arm of Frapak Packaging, a family-owned European plastic packaging manufacturer established in the Netherlands in 1978 with sales and production units in multiple countries. This group structure gives Ivar Holte access to international production, R&D, and a broader product range while maintaining local sales, warehouse, and personalized service. Revenue is generated through quote-based B2B hardware sales of standard catalog items and custom/specialized packaging solutions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led via a small named team of six sales/logistics/order contacts plus general reception, with the company website serving as a top-of-funnel content and product catalog channel. Sustainability has emerged as a recurring theme, evidenced by the 2018 Bioplast Drinking Bottles launch, the 2021 BB Bio Series Plugs launch, and an rPET range — all leveraging Frapak's solar-powered Slovenia production facility and recycled-material expertise.
