What Amedia Trykk does

Amedia Trykk AS is a Norwegian rotary (coldset) newspaper printing company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Amedia media conglomerate, headquartered in Kjeller with an operational headquarters in Lillestrøm. The company operates five production facilities distributed across Norway — Lillestrøm, Biri/Innlandet, Larvik, Egersund/Dalane, and Voss — which collectively allow it to coordinate nationwide print runs with regional adaptation and consistent lead times. Its primary business is producing daily newspapers for Norwegian publishers, alongside customer/advertising newspapers (kundeaviser), organizational magazines, inserts, and address-managed distribution.

Its core technical stack is built around rotary printing presses, an InfraLogic CTP (Computer-to-Plate) prepress pipeline that processes PDFs through RIP and routes jobs to the correct facility based on filename conventions, and the WebCenter online proofing/approval portal that lets customers review RIP-rendered pages before they go to plate. Color management follows the ISO Newspaper profile standard. Prepress is centralized through a "Sidemottak" (page receipt) function staffed into the evening and on Sundays, enabling same-day turnaround for daily titles. Sustainability and quality frameworks include Miljøfyrtårn (Environmental Lighthouse) certification at four named facilities, Great Place to Work certification, GDPR compliance on its web properties, and annual due-diligence reporting under Norway's Åpenhetsloven (Transparency Act).

Amedia Trykk sells predominantly on multi-year B2B contracts with pricing determined per format, page count, paper quality, and distribution requirement rather than via public rate cards. Its go-to-market is direct sales-led, with named sales representatives (Inger Ottesen and Øyvind Øygarden) managing enterprise newspaper clients and the WebCenter/amedia.mwm365.com portals serving smaller advertising buyers. The customer base is heavily concentrated in Norwegian newspaper publishing — including titles such as Romerikes Blad, Drammens Tidende, Dagens Medisin, Finansavisen, Morgenbladet, Vårt Land, and Klassekampen — supplemented with organizational publications (e.g., Røde Kors). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company operates as a private limited company (aksjeselskap) with no external investors indicated.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• NORDJYSKE Medier: Danish regional media group with integrated newspaper printing operations across multiple facilities in Denmark. Highly comparable business model (regional media + in-house/contract rotary printing) but operating in Denmark rather than Norway.
• Stampen: Swedish media group historically anchored by newspaper printing (Stampen Tryck) and distribution. Comparable in that it combines a media-house parent with commercial newspaper printing serving external customers, but focused on the Swedish market.

Broad incumbents

• Bonnier: Swedish family-owned media conglomerate with extensive newspaper and magazine publishing (e.g., Dagens Nyheter, Expressen). Comparable as a Nordic media group that both produces and historically printed newspapers and magazines.
• Egmont: Nordic media group with significant printing and magazine publishing activities across Scandinavia. Comparable in media-and-print integration but operates as a much larger diversified incumbent spanning books, magazines, and film.
• Schibsted: Large Norwegian/Swedish media conglomerate that has historically operated newspaper printing (e.g., for Aftenposten and other titles). Overlaps with Amedia Trykk's market but is much broader in scope across digital marketplaces, newspapers, and classifieds.
• Aller Media: Nordic magazine publisher with substantial print operations producing customer magazines and advertising-driven publications. Directly comparable in serving advertising buyers and producing customer/magazine print at scale, though anchored in Denmark/Sweden.

Direct peers

• Quebecor: Canadian media and printing conglomerate whose printing arm (Quebecor Print) operates large-scale rotary presses producing newspapers, magazines, and commercial print. Directly comparable in commercial printing operations serving newspaper publishers and advertisers.
• Polaris Media: Norwegian regional media group that operates its own newspaper printing facilities serving local titles. Directly comparable in model, geography, and customer base (Norwegian newspaper publishers), making it the closest head-to-head competitor to Amedia Trykk.
