Multiblokk

What Multiblokk does

Multiblokk is one of Norway's largest and most established manufacturers of concrete outdoor products, operating as the consumer-facing brand of Skjæveland Gruppen AS, a privately held industrial group based in Sandnes, Norway. The company produces a broad portfolio across ten categories — paving stones (Belegningsstein), concrete slabs (Heller), formwork blocks (Forskalingsblokker), walls and retaining systems (Murer), curbstones (Kantstein), permeable drainage surfaces (Drenerende belegg), industrial paving stones (Industristein), concrete blocks (Betongblokker), miscellaneous products (Diverse), and accessories (Tilbehør) — all manufactured at a single, modern mass-production facility described as one of Europe's most advanced for concrete products.

The technology stack centers on proprietary materials and surface treatments: AKTIV surface treatment reduces algae growth and (via NOxOFF) breaks down nitrogen oxides; CEM2 Miljøsement is used across permeable product lines to lower CO2 footprint; and a Saferock pilot aims to replace Portland cement with a mining-waste-based binder, targeting near 80% CO2 reduction. Production capabilities support both decorative residential applications (gardens, driveways, terraces) and heavy-duty commercial/public use (streets, harbors, airports, container terminals, industrial facilities, stormwater management).

The business model is product-driven: Multiblokk sells to private homeowners through a nationwide network of over 100 authorized dealers (including BYGGmax, Obs Bygg, XL-Bygg, Byggtorget, and Modena Fliser) and directly to commercial and public-sector customers — municipalities, contractors, and logistics operators — through Skjæveland Gruppens dedicated sales team. Pricing is unit-based, dealer-determined, not publicly listed, with periodic adjustments (a 4% increase was announced for April 2026). The company is family-owned (Lillebø family), Miljøfyrtårn (Environmental Lighthouse) certified, and a partner in the SINTEF-led Klima 2050 research initiative.
