What Miljø- og Fluidteknikk AS does

Miljø- og Fluidteknikk AS (trading as MFT) is a privately held Norwegian manufacturer founded in 1992, headquartered in Østerås, Norway, with a staff of 1-10. The company designs and produces hydraulic control equipment for drainage networks, stormwater systems, and wastewater infrastructure, addressing flood protection, overflow pollution, and hydraulic flow regulation. Its product portfolio is organized into three integrated lines: regulation components (flow regulators, level regulators, backflow valves), separation components (prefabricated particle-separating overflow structures for both rainwater and stormwater), and infrastructure components (hydraulically calibrated monitoring instruments, remote-capable shutoff valves, and prefabricated manhole drainage channels), plus ancillary items such as flush systems and prefabricated manholes. A stated majority of products are manufactured in Norway.

MFT sells primarily into Norwegian infrastructure projects through a direct B2B sales motion, targeting water and drainage utilities (VA), construction and urban development firms, residential developers, transport infrastructure (roads and rail), industrial operators, and the agricultural sector. Distribution is domestic-only via direct engagement, with the company emphasizing engineering documentation, technical product pages, and a quarterly (max four issues per year) email newsletter as its principal marketing channels, alongside a LinkedIn presence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company holds a 2024 Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) environmental certification, is a registered supplier in Startbank (the Norwegian supplier qualification system), and is a member of Grønt Punkt Norge (the Norwegian packaging producer responsibility scheme). It is led by Nils Aaby as Daglig Leder (Managing Director). No external funding, institutional investors, parent entities, or public listings are disclosed; operations are independently financed and contained within a single-country footprint.

Product overview

MFT (Miljø- og Fluidteknikk AS) is a Norwegian manufacturer offering a modular portfolio of hydraulic control products for drainage network management, flood protection, and pollution prevention. The core offering spans three integrated product lines: (1) Regulation products — Mengderegulering (flow/quantity regulators) that control water throughput to prevent overload, Nivåregulering (level regulators) that maintain precise water levels in overflows, dams and sediment basins, and Tilbakeslagssikring (backflow/check valves) that prevent reverse flow; (2) Separation products — Partikkelavskilling for both Regnvannsoverløp (rainwater overflow particle separation) and Overvann (stormwater particle separation) that retain pollutants before discharge; and (3) Infrastructure products — Overvåking (monitoring) components for calibrated measurement of flows and volumes, Avstengning (shutoff valves and gates) for safe isolation with remote-control capability, and Avløpsrenner (prefabricated drainage channels) designed for optimal hydraulics and self-cleansing. The portfolio is rounded out by Andre produkter (other products) including flush systems and prefabricated manholes. A significant proportion of products are manufactured in Norway.
