Lindqvist AS

What Lindqvist AS does

Lindqvist AS is a Norwegian specialty retailer of professional power tools, saw blades, and related hardware, headquartered in Bergen and operating under the brand 'Lindqvist – Sagbladspesialisten i Bergen' (Saw Blade Specialist in Bergen). The company combines a physical retail store at Fjøsangerveien 70A with an e-commerce storefront at lindqvist.no, serving both professional tradespeople — contractors, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and construction workers — and DIY homeowners across Norway. Its assortment spans the major professional cordless ecosystems (Bosch 18V/12V, DeWalt XR 18V and FlexVolt 54V, Makita LXT 18V and XGT 40V) alongside specialized categories including Pilana and Husqvarna cutting equipment, diamond drilling and grinding tools, Scangrip work lighting, StealthMounts organization systems, fastening materials, hand tools, measuring instruments, and car-care consumables.

The core technical offering is curated third-party product resale plus an in-house blade sharpening service, organized through a category-based catalog (Sagblad, Festemateriell, Diamant, StealthMounts, etc.) with detailed product pages, promotional pricing, and an outlet section for discounted inventory. Pricing is uniformly one-time/perpetual in Norwegian Krone including VAT, with no subscription or recurring components identified; product tiers range from sub-kr-200 consumables to kr-12,000+ professional combination kits and table saws.

The business model is straightforward B2C/B2B specialty retail with distributed small-ticket volume rather than enterprise anchor contracts. Marketing reach is narrow: the company relies on its own website catalog, newsletter signup, and limited social presence, with no identified paid advertising, partnerships, or institutional ownership. The company is privately held as an Aksjeselskap (Norwegian private limited company) under organization number 979907362, has approximately 33 employees, and discloses no funding rounds, M&A activity, or management team information in the available data.
