Companies in Industry are exposed to markets with strong growth such as energy-efficient lighting, sustainable lightweight material and renewable energy, modern grocery retail, pharmacology and aftermarket solutions. Technology consultants and aftermarket solutions will play important roles in the transition to a more sustainable society. Engineers and new technology offer many solutions for accelerating the transition, creating profitable prospects for companies that are correctly positioned. The business area is divided into two segments in which the following companies are included: Product Solutions (Diab, HL Display, LEDiL and Oase Outdoors) and Industrial Services (Knightec Group, Aleido, Speed Group and TFS). The formation of the Knightec Group through the merger of Knightec and Semcon was announced in September, creating a leading partner in product and digital service development.

The business area’s operations benefit from current social developments and trends such as urbanisation, growing populations, the need for renewable energy and efficient resource management. As in our other business areas, the focus is on leading margins and strong cash flows combined with a decentralised corporate culture focused on profitability and a business model built on long-term sustainability. The business area is divided into two segments in which the following companies are included: Critical Infrastructure (Aibel, Expin Group and Presis Infra) and Construction Services (Sentia). In December, SSEA Group and HENT merged to form the leading Nordic construction group: Sentia.

The business area consists of companies that are well positioned in relation to retail trends such as outdoor living, home furnishings, plants, and purchasing and selling used vehicle. The companies hold leading positions in their respective segments in the market and consist of well-known brands. The business area includes KVD and Plantasjen. In August, it was announced that Plantasjen had filed for reconstruction. The aim of the reconstruction was to downsize the store network, optimise lease contracts, and rightsize the organisation. The decision of the courts in Norway and Sweden gained legal force in both countries on 18 February 2025 and the reconstruction has now been completed.
