People are at the heart of Brunvoll’s growth strategy. Throughout 2025, we welcomed new employees and apprentices, while also offering summer placements to 23 students. More than 30 upper secondary school pupils were given insight into industrial careers, and 39 employees moved into new internal roles – demonstrating a strong focus on long- term competence development and internal mobility.
These numbers show Brunvoll’s role as a regional engine for skills development. Supporting apprenticeships, student work experience and structured internal mobility reduces turnover, builds resilience and strengthens our contribution to the local labour market. The focus on “sowing seeds early” – engaging with young people, parents, schools and vocational institutions – is a deliberate and effective long-term strategy. Investing time and long-term focus on target groups, including apprentices, pays off.
In 2025, we delivered our highest revenue and best financial result ever, reaching approximately NOK 2.5 billion after doubling revenue in three years. This economic success provides the basis for long-term investments that reinforce our regional presence, secure employment, and support the transition to more sustainable industry practices. Importantly, this growth is not driven by expanding the workforce at the same pace as production. Instead, Brunvoll has adopted a deliberate strategy of increasing output with fewer resources per unit, strengthening competitiveness while ensuring responsible use of resources. As Group CEO Kåre Øyvind Vassdal states:
“This is about preparing for future growth in a sustainable way. We invest to increase capacity and productivity while strengthening quality and delivery precision.”
Brunvoll continued to scale its industrial capacity through significant long-term investments in Molde. These include:
These investments will create cleaner, more efficient production environments with improved flow, higher precision and reduced resource intensity. While they do not directly translate into large increases in headcount, they form a critical backbone for sustainable industrial growth: a key theme throughout the sustainability strategy.
Brunvoll’s family ownership and nearly 120 years of continuous operation underpin a long-term strategic perspective that is closely tied to community development. The Group’s investments have broad ripple effects for suppliers, partners and the wider regional economy. The combination of traditional industrial competence and modern technology is essential to secure sustainable competitiveness. This approach reinforces Brunvoll’s role as a stable, future-oriented contributor to the community. Our goal is to create high-skilled jobs, develop local talent and maintain a strong collaboration with schools, industry clusters and regional stakeholders.
