What Romarheim does
Romarheim AS is a privately held Norwegian construction and engineering group headquartered in Alversund (Vestland), founded in 2011 and operating through three core divisions: Romarheim Entreprenør (general contracting, groundworks, blasting, infrastructure, and quarry operations), Romarheim Forskaling (formwork rental and sales through five branches in Bergen, Stavanger/Sandnes, Oslo/Kjeller, Hamar/Ilseng, and Steinkjer/Trondheim), and Romarheim Kran (tower crane and self-erecting crane rental and sales, with a fleet of over 20 electric tower cranes). The group also owns and operates quarries (Eikefet, Os Knuseverk, Sløvåg via Wergeland agreement) and a 500-dekar industrial land bank (Espevoll Næringsområde on Osterøy) developed through Espevoll Næringspark AS.
Romarheim generates revenue through three mechanisms: long-term project contracts with public and private enterprise clients (Statnett, Posten Bring, Vestland Fylkeskommune, Sotra Link Construction, Skanska Norge, Småkraft AS), transactional rental and sale of formwork systems (Topmax, Topflex, Manto G3M, Topec, Aludek) and tower cranes to construction firms across Norway, and sale of crushed stone, gravel, sand, and aggregates from its own quarries. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supplemented by competitive public tendering. Notable technical capabilities include autonomous (driverless) construction dumpers at the Eikefet quarry, first-mover adoption of the Infrakit digital collaboration platform on the Sotrasambandet project, deployment of the Ditio monitoring app, pilot use of the Porfyr mass-management platform, and a 40% ownership stake in Saxe.Tech AS for operational data analytics.
In FY2024 Romarheim grew revenue 75% to NOK 750M from NOK 430M and doubled its workforce from 70 to 140 employees, supported by the September 2024 acquisition of RenCon's rental business from Optimera, the 2022 acquisition of Osterøy Entreprenør (renamed Espevoll Næringspark AS), and minority investments in Hjelmen AS and Saxe.Tech AS. The group is ISO 9001/14001/45001 certified, was awarded Statnett's HMS Prize 2024, and has been recognized as a Gaselle company by Dagens Næringsliv in 2020 and 2022. Customer concentration is moderate, anchored by the NOK 450M Sotrasambandet joint venture with Rivenes AS — the largest single contract in the company's history — alongside multi-year programs for Statnett and Posten Bring.
