What Kanmer Arbeidsinkludering As does

Kanmer Arbeidsinkludering AS is a privately held Norwegian work inclusion enterprise (arbeidsinkluderingsbedrift) headquartered in Årnes, Romerike, operating since 2011 as an aksjeselskap under organization number 930 492 086. The company delivers a diversified portfolio of seven commercial service lines — Tømrer (carpentry and construction), Logistikk (third-party warehousing and transport), Catering, Grønt (outdoor and green maintenance), Pakking (packing and assembly), Vedproduksjon (firewood production), and the BrukaNes secondhand store — alongside NAV-partnered AFT and VTA work-inclusion programs that place participants from outside the ordinary labor market into supported employment. Underlying capacity rests on a 4,000+ m² solar-equipped facility at Runni, a secondary site at Nylænne, owned warehouse and vehicle fleet, and ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 certified management systems (effective November 2024), the Mestermerket craft mark, and approved apprenticeship and liability status.

The company monetizes through pay-as-you-go unit pricing on consumer lines (catering at NOK 375–600 per person, charcuterie items at NOK 390 per 200–300g portion, sauces at NOK 45/unit, firewood at volume), project-based custom quotes for carpentry and green maintenance, and contracted B2B logistics/manufacturing services with named enterprise clients including A-KABEL AS, Automasjons & Styringssystemer AS, Norske Backer, Profilerings-spesialisten AS, and Brecom AS. The go-to-market combines direct field sales and free on-site quotes with NAV public-sector referrals, a Mitt Anbud listing, an e-commerce online store at nettbutikk.kanmer.no, the physical BrukaNes store, and active Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels. No external funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• ISS A/S: Global facility-services and support-services incumbent. Comparable to Kanmer as a broad administrative-and-support services operator, but operating at global scale across facility management, cleaning, catering, and logistics rather than a regional work-inclusion niche.
• PostNord / Posten Norge: Nordic postal and logistics incumbent with nationwide distribution infrastructure. Comparable to Kanmer's logistics arm as a parcel/warehouse operator, but at national scale and without a work-inclusion labor model.
• Sodexo: Global food services and facilities management incumbent with strong presence in Nordic catering. Comparable to Kanmer on catering and on-site service delivery, but at international scale rather than a Romerike work-inclusion model.

Direct peers

• KID Interiør AS: Norwegian work-inclusion enterprise running interior products, logistics, and assembly operations with NAV-referred participants. Comparable to Kanmer in combining a social mission with commercial production, packing, and warehousing.
• Stendi AS: Largest Norwegian work-inclusion and care-services company, providing sheltered employment, AFT/VTA-equivalent programs, and a broad portfolio of commercial services across multiple Norwegian regions. Most directly comparable to Kanmer's NAV-funded work-inclusion model and multi-line service structure.
• Hero Norge AS: Norwegian sheltered-employment / work-inclusion company operating multiple production and service lines with public-sector funding. Closely comparable to Kanmer's AFT/VTA-driven operating model and diversified service portfolio.
• ASOR AS: Work-inclusion company offering NAV-partnered employment programs and commercial services. Directly comparable to Kanmer in its reliance on NAV referrals and multi-departmental service delivery.
• UFF Norge: Norwegian second-hand chain linked to work-inclusion and circular-economy activities. Comparable to Kanmer's BrukaNes store as a second-hand retail channel with social-employment underpinnings.
• Fretex: Norwegian second-hand retail and reuse operator with strong ties to NAV and work-inclusion programs. Directly comparable to Kanmer's BrukaNes second-hand store line and reuse/circulary activity.

Regional players

• Grøntvedt Pelagic / local firewood operators: Regional firewood and outdoor-product producers operating in the Scandinavian market. Comparable to Kanmer's vedproduksjon line as regional firewood suppliers, but without the work-inclusion and multi-service overlay.
