What T. MYHRVOLD AS does

T. Myhrvold AS, operating under the brand Myhrvold-Gruppen, is a Norwegian B2B supplier of professional kitchen equipment, commercial food production machinery, and food processing solutions. Founded in 1909 and headquartered in Oslo, the company serves three primary verticals: professional kitchens (storkjøkken / HORECA), grocery retail (dagligvare), and food industry (industri). Customers include hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars, company cafeterias, supermarket chains, and food manufacturers. The product portfolio spans ten major equipment categories, including combi steamers, cooking and frying equipment, refrigeration and freezing, coffee machines, dishwashing, slicing machines, scales and packaging, industrial food processing equipment, consumables, kitchen furnishing, and serving equipment. The company represents leading international manufacturers such as Rational, Bizerba, Winterhalter, MenuSystem, Comenda, Scotsman, and Hoshizaki.

The business operates a "totalleverandør" (total supplier) model with full A-Å project responsibility, including design, layout, engineering, procurement, turnkey installation, and ongoing service and maintenance. Revenue is generated across four streams: equipment sales (one-time), project services (professional services), service and maintenance agreements (recurring), and spare parts. The company maintains six Norwegian branch offices (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Ankenes/Nord-Norge, Hamar, Kristiansand) providing nationwide sales and service coverage, with sales restricted exclusively to businesses holding a Norwegian organization number. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices, consistent with enterprise B2B distribution.

Since November 2021, T. Myhrvold AS has been wholly owned by Bent Brandt A/S, a Danish family business founded in 1967. The acquisition formed a Nordic alliance spanning Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, with wholly-owned subsidiaries T. Myhrvold AB (Sweden) and T. Myhrvold A/S (Denmark). Myhrvold-Gruppen employs approximately 140 people and generated NOK 723 million in standalone revenue in 2025, while the combined Nordic alliance reached NOK 1,700 million in 2025, up from NOK 1,100 million in 2021. The company holds Miljøfyrtårn (Environmental Lighthouse) certification valid 2023-2026.

Others

• Winterhalter: German specialist manufacturer of commercial warewashing systems (hood, rack, and flight-type dishwashers plus detergents). Winterhalter is a core brand partner distributed by Myhrvold-Gruppen, with comparable focus on premium professional kitchen equipment for HORECA customers.
• Bizerba: German manufacturer of slicing, weighing, pricing, and labeling equipment for food retail and food processing. Bizerba is a core industrial brand partner of Myhrvold-Gruppen and represents the company's Industri segment offering for high-volume food processors and grocery retailers.
• Rational AG: German manufacturer of combi steamers and the global market leader in this category. Rational is a flagship brand distributed by Myhrvold-Gruppen in Norway, making it both a key supply partner and a benchmark for premium combi oven technology in the company's portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Electrolux Professional: Swedish-headquartered manufacturer of commercial kitchen, laundry, and beverage equipment, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Comparable because it both manufactures equipment that competes with Myhrvold's distributed brands and targets the same Nordic HORECA and food service end customers.
• Franke Foodservice Systems: Swiss-based division of the Franke Group manufacturing professional kitchen systems, hoods, and warewashing equipment for global foodservice operators. Comparable as a broad incumbent OEM serving overlapping HORECA and institutional customers across Europe.
• Middleby Corporation: US-based publicly listed global manufacturer of commercial cooking, food preparation, refrigeration, and warewashing equipment. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose brands compete directly with several of the OEMs Myhrvold-Gruppen distributes (e.g., Blodgett, TurboChef, Henny Penny).
• Ali Group: Global Italian foodservice equipment conglomerate operating multiple brands across refrigeration, cooking, warewashing, and food preparation. Ali Group owns Metos (a direct Nordic peer) and competes with several of Myhrvold-Gruppen's distribution partners in adjacent product categories.
• Hobart: US-based manufacturer of commercial food preparation, cooking, refrigeration, and warewashing equipment, owned by Illinois Tool Works. Comparable as a global incumbent in professional kitchen equipment whose warewashing and food prep lines directly compete with brands Myhrvold distributes (e.g., Winterhalter).

Direct peers

• Metos: Leading Nordic commercial kitchen equipment distributor operating across Finland, the Baltics, and parts of Scandinavia. Part of the Ali Group, Metos shares Myhrvold's business model of distributing professional kitchen equipment to HORECA and food industry customers, with a comparable full-service offering including design, installation, and after-sales service.
• Bent Brandt A/S: Denmark's largest supplier of equipment and accessories for professional kitchens, founded in 1967 and headquartered near Aarhus. Acquired 100% of Myhrvold-Gruppen in November 2021, making it the parent and most direct comparable in the Nordic alliance — same total-supplier model and overlapping product portfolio across HORECA, grocery, and food industry.
