JaTre AS

What JaTre AS does

JaTre AS is a Norwegian specialty timber construction manufacturer headquartered in Elnesvågen, Hustadvika municipality, Norway, founded in 1982 as Fræna Treindustri by Asbjørn and Judy Ukkelberg and rebranded to JaTre in 2021. The company designs, manufactures, and delivers precision-engineered timber construction kits to construction companies, builders, and contractors across residential, commercial, agricultural, institutional, and small-building segments. Operations are conducted from a single integrated facility that combines CNC-controlled production, in-house design engineering, sales, and direct site delivery via company-owned crane trucks. Core products include Takstoler (roof trusses), Bjelkelag (floor systems), Precut precision-cut timber, Elementer (factory-built structural elements), and JaTre Kompakttak, a proprietary compact roof system that received SINTEF Technical Approval (TG 20818) in 2025 after three years of development. The company differentiates through millimeter-precision CNC manufacturing, project-specific complete kits with optional on-site installation, a single-contact-person model across design and production, and regulatory-grade certifications including Sentral godkjenning and Startbank registration. It also markets TREDIM, a standalone structural dimensioning software, via tredim.no. Ownership remains with the founding Ukkelberg family, with Daniel Ukkelberg serving as Managing Director and Asbjørn Ukkelberg as Working Chairman; the company is privately held with no external institutional investors identified.

Revenue model

1. Timber Construction Products: Manufacturing and sale of custom timber construction packages including trusses (takstoler), floor systems (bjelkelag), precut timber, and building elements (elementer). Products are sold as complete project-specific kits designed and manufactured to customer specifications. Revenue is generated through one-time project-based sales rather than recurring contracts.
2. Installation Services: Optional on-site installation and completion of building elements. JaTre offers mounting services for their element deliveries, distinguishing them from competitors who only supply materials.
3. TREDIM Software: TREDIM is a simple computer program that helps calculate correct dimensions for beams, rafters, and columns in steel and timber. Sold as a standalone software product through tredim.no.

Direct peers

• Klifta: Norwegian timber construction supplier offering roof trusses, floor joists, and structural elements. A regional Norwegian timber component manufacturer operating in a similar product category and customer base to JaTre.
• Forestia: Norwegian manufacturer of wood-based panels and engineered wood products for the construction industry. Comparable to JaTre as a domestic Norwegian structural wood products manufacturer serving similar building segments.
• Nordic Structures: North American/Nordic prefabricated timber structures manufacturer with focus on mass timber and engineered wood building components. Comparable to JaTre's prefabricated structural elements and roof system offerings.
• Byggma: Norwegian manufacturer of I-joists, LVL, and structural timber components. Closely comparable to JaTre's core products (Takstoler, Bjelkelag) and a direct competitor in the Norwegian engineered wood framing market.

Broad incumbents

• Moelven: Large Norwegian timber and building products group operating sawmills, wood products, and building modules across the Nordics. Comparable to JaTre as a manufacturer of engineered timber components for construction, but on a vastly larger, multi-division scale.
• Binderholz: Austrian large-scale manufacturer of sawn timber, CLT, glulam, and prefabricated timber building components. Comparable in engineered wood structural components category but operates across European markets at much greater scale.
• Martinsons: Swedish manufacturer of CLT and glulam structural elements, with a focus on modular timber building systems. Comparable to JaTre's structural element and prefabricated roof/wall offerings, but with national Swedish reach and broader product portfolio.
• Stora Enso: Major Nordic wood products corporation producing CLT, LVL, glulam, and other engineered wood products. Overlaps with JaTre's engineered wood and structural component categories but at vastly larger industrial scale.
• Hunton: Norwegian manufacturer of wood-based building materials including structural timber, I-joists, and wall systems. Comparable to JaTre's engineered wood and prefabricated component offering, though Hunton is a broader incumbent with deeper market reach.
• Setra Group: Swedish engineered wood products manufacturer (glulam, CLT, components). Comparable to JaTre in the engineered wood building components category, though serving broader European markets with significantly greater scale.
