What Jackon AS does

Jackon AS is a Norwegian manufacturer of polystyrene-based insulation and construction solutions, founded in 1956 and headquartered in Gressvik, Norway. It operates as a subsidiary within the Insulation & Construction division of BEWI, a publicly referenced international packaging, components, and insulation group, and is commercialized regionally under the 'Jackon by BEWI' brands in Finland and Germany alongside localized sales sites for Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, the UK, Lithuania, and Spain.

The company's core technology is built around EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), and PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation, including differentiated recycled-content lines such as GreenLine EPS (100% recycled EPS) and Terra XPS (minimum 55% recycled material). Jackon AS also markets the Thermomur family of insulated concrete form (ICF) building systems for low-energy construction, complemented by foundation ring-wall systems (Jackopor Ringmur), radon barriers, vapor barriers, drainage boards, and utility products (column formwork, pipe supports, culvert insulation). A 2024 in-factory recycling facility targets 1,000 tonnes of recycled EPS/XPS feedstock annually, supporting a circular-economy positioning aligned with European energy-efficiency regulation.

The go-to-market is sales-led: direct customer consultation with tailored solutions, supported by regional sales websites and a content-marketing program (social media, news and sustainability stories). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact the company for guidance. The served customer segment is the building and construction industry across residential, commercial, and industrial applications, with documented use cases spanning foundations, floors, walls, roofs, drainage, radon protection, and swimming-pool construction.

Core offering

Jackon AS manufactures and supplies EPS and XPS-based insulation boards, PIR insulation, and the Thermomur insulated concrete form building system for foundations, floors, walls, and roofs. The portfolio also includes radon barriers, vapor barriers, foundation ring-wall systems, floor-heating plates, drainage boards, and ancillary construction products serving residential, commercial, and industrial construction customers across Europe.

Product overview

Jackon AS, operating as Jackon by BEWI, offers a comprehensive portfolio of insulation and construction solutions. The product lineup consists of three main insulation material categories: EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), and PIR (Polyisocyanurate) materials. Key product lines include Jackopor® EPS boards, Jackofoam® and Terra XPS boards, and BEWI uniPIR. The company also provides complete building systems centered around the Thermomur® insulated concrete form product family (Thermomur® 200, 250X, 350, 350 HD, 350 Super, 450, and specialized variants including pool blocks and radon-blocking versions). Foundation and ring wall solutions include Jackopor® Ringmur systems (RA, RU, R variants), L-elements, and BEWI Såleblokk. Additional products cover floor heating (IsoFlex), flooring (BEWI Tuplex LVT), radon barriers (BEWI Radon Barrier A/B, BEWI Radon Box B), vapor barriers (Gram Dampsperre, Gram Dekkfolie), and utility/infrastructure products including column formwork, pipe supports, and culvert insulation. The portfolio is complemented by PE products such as winter mats, tarpaulins, and waste bags. The products serve the building and construction industry for foundations, floors, walls, roofs, drainage, and radon protection applications.
