CERTEGO continues to grow in the Norwegian market through the acquisition of Hålogaland Lås & Sikkerhet AS (HLS) in Narvik. With this strategic investment, CERTEGO strengthens its presence in the Nordland and Troms counties, taking another step toward becoming the leading security provider in Northern Norway.
“It is with great pleasure that I welcome our new colleagues in the north. Hålogaland Lås & Sikkerhet has a strong reputation in the market, and I am deeply impressed by their professionalism and efficiency. By combining our strengths, we will gain an even stronger local presence in a region with significant growth potential. Together, we look forward to offering our customers even better services and solutions,” says Rolf Gunnar Reisænen, Managing Director of CERTEGO Norway.
The acquisition enables more efficient use of resources in a geographically challenging area, where long distances between customers place high demands on logistics and planning. By coordinating operations in the region, CERTEGO can reduce travel times and improve service and delivery to our customers. CERTEGO has previously had a limited market position in Harstad, but with HLS's strong local presence, a new hub for operations in Northern Norway is now being established.
The presence in Narvik opens the door to a rapidly growing market, driven by investments in both private and public projects.
“This acquisition is an important part of CERTEGO’s strategy to grow both organically and through partnerships. With a broader geographical presence and stronger local leadership, our goal is to become the preferred security provider in Nordland and Troms,” says Jonas Granath, CEO of CERTEGO Group.
“We look forward to combining HLS’s local strength with CERTEGO’s resources and expertise. Together, we are taking a major step toward becoming the market leader in Northern Norway,” says Frode Bratsberg, Managing Director of Hålogaland Lås & Sikkerhet AS.
