“Metier’s core competencies, combined with Norconsult’s expertise in engineering, architecture and digital services, will strengthen our position as a full-service interdisciplinary consultancy company. We are very pleased to welcome Metier’s employees, and we are confident that Norconsult will be an excellent match as the new owner for Metier,” said Egil Hogna, Norconsult CEO.
Norconsult acquires 100 percent of the shares in Metier.
Norconsult and Metier complement each other in several areas, which paves the way for promising growth opportunities going forward. The companies also have extensive experience of working together on projects, including for clients such as Sykehusbygg, Hafslund Celsio, and NMBU Campus. In addition, Metier has a broad client portfolio spanning both public and private sectors, including clients such as Helse Sør-Øst, Forsvarsmateriell, and Hydro.
“We are confident that, under the ownership of Norconsult, Metier will continue to advance both professionally and organisationally. We have known Norconsult for many years and look forward to becoming part of the Group. We strongly believe that we can both realise synergies and continue to grow as an independent company,” says Halvard S. Kilde, CEO at Metier.
The transaction will require approval from the Norwegian Competition Authority.
