Veidekke to take over Entreprenør M. Kristiseter AS
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke is purchasing all the shares in Entreprenør M. Kristiseter AS, a move
that will make it one of the leading contractors in Møre og Romsdal in
north-western Norway. Headquartered in Åndalsnes with a branch office in
Ålesund, Kristiseter has 80 employees and posted revenues of MNOK 200 in 2009.
Founded in Åndalsnes in 1945 by Martin Kristiseter as a construction machinery
and concrete contractor, Entreprenør M. Kristiseter AS is today one of the
largest contractors in Møre og Romsdal. In the last 25 years the bulk of its
business has been in the Ålesund area.
The owners and management of Kristiseter are very positive to the acquisition of
the company by Veidekke. An Acquisition Letter of Intent was signed this spring
with the company's recently deceased principal owner Svein Kristiseter, and the
transaction will now be completed in cooperation with his descendants and the
company's board and management.
"With this acquisition Veidekke will become a full-service partner for customers
in north-western Norway. We already have extensive asphalt, gravel and
aggregates business plus the ground contractor Grunnentreprenøren UFO, and will
be complementing this with Kristiseter, a leading construction contractor," says
Carl Inge Veland, regional manager of Veidekke Entreprenør AS. "We have on a
number of occasions worked well with Kristiseter on implementing projects in the
region, and the recently commenced MNOK 120 renovation of Ålesund City Hall is a
good example of this. We believe that by combining Veidekke's expertise in
project development and turnkey contracts with Kristiseter's excellent
implementation resources and solid position in the local market, we will be able
to expand and become established as a leading player in this part of the
market," adds Veland.
