Norco Interior (former KS Projekt)

What Norco Interior (former KS Projekt) does

Norco Interior is a Scandinavian turnkey interior solutions provider headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with additional offices in Halmstad (Sweden), Oslo (Norway), Dreieich (Germany), and Poland. The company traces its origins to a Norwegian interior business founded in 1956 in Stranda, Norway, and has operated continuously in retail and commercial interiors for more than 40 years under the Norco/KS Projekt brand, rebranding to Norco Interior in 2023. Its service offering spans the full project lifecycle — Concept & Design, Drawings & Layout, Production, Logistics, Assembly & Installation, Quality Control, and Project Management — executed with more than 30,000 m² of in-house production capacity at facilities in Ciechanów and Sońsk, Poland.

The company's customer base is concentrated in Nordic and Northern European retail, fashion, and hospitality chains. Named enterprise customers include fashion brands Peak Performance, Oscar Jacobson, GANT, Tiger of Sweden, Björn Borg, Stenströms, and Marimekko; mass-market and specialty retailers such as KappAhl, Reserved, CCC, Naturkompaniet, Hemtex, MegaFlis, Tilbords, Feel, DUKA, iSpot, Norli Libris, and Bruun & Stengade; fitness operators including CityFit, MM Sports, and Felleskjøpet; and telecom provider Telenor. Since 2022 the company has been backed by Nordic private equity sponsor Accent Equity, in 2023 it acquired Norco Hospitality Contract AS to enter the HoReCa segment, and in February 2024 it became part of the Götessons Design Group. The CEO is Ove Opseth.

Norco Interior monetizes through project-based contracts for multi-store rollouts, concept refreshes, and bespoke commercial interiors delivered to enterprise chains. The combination of Nordic sales offices with centralized production in Poland supports a cost-efficient delivery model for cross-border chain programs, and the Götessons integration positions the group as a broader Nordic design-to-installation platform across retail, fashion, hospitality, and office/commercial interiors.

Emerging players

• USM: Swiss modular furniture and interior system manufacturer serving offices, retail and hospitality with design-led configurable products. Comparable in premium European interior positioning and modular fit-out relevance for retail and HoReCa clients.

Direct peers

• APR Group: Dutch turnkey retail interior provider with own production facilities serving fashion, food retail and convenience brands across Europe. Comparable scale, vertical integration and project-based retail customer model.
• Umdasch Shopfitting: Austrian-headquartered turnkey shopfitting and store concept provider serving fashion, retail and hospitality chains across Europe. Closest direct competitor given similar end-to-end design, production and installation model and overlapping customer base of European retail brands.
• Bohnacker Store Solutions: German shopfitting and interior solutions specialist with in-house production serving fashion, retail and lifestyle brands. Directly comparable on turnkey delivery model and European mid-market fashion retail customer roster.
• Interstore | Schweitzer: German retail shopfitting and design-build firm specializing in fashion, lifestyle and brand retail environments. Direct competitor on turnkey European retail interior delivery with own production.
• MAKK Retail Displays: Netherlands-based manufacturer of retail displays, shop fittings and store interior solutions. Comparable B2B model targeting European retail and brand clients, though narrower in design services.

Broad incumbents

• Vitra: Swiss furniture and interior solutions company with strong design DNA serving offices, retail and public spaces. Comparable on integrated design-plus-manufacturing interior solutions, but broader portfolio and not retail-specialist.

Others

• Falk & Ross Group: European supplier of retail visual merchandising and display solutions. Adjacent provider to retail interior buyers but does not offer the full design-to-installation scope Norco delivers.
