AF Gruppen

AF Gruppen is one of Norway’s leading contracting and industrial groups, operating across Norway and Sweden. Founded in 1985 by a small group of entrepreneurs, the company has grown through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions into a publicly listed organization on the Oslo Stock Exchange (ticker: AFG).

Today, AF Gruppen generates approximately NOK 32 billion in annual revenue, employs around 6,000 people, and is recognized for delivering complex construction, infrastructure, environmental, and industrial projects throughout the Nordic region.

Rather than operating as a single centralized contractor, AF Gruppen consists of a family of specialized subsidiaries, including AF Anlegg, Betonmast, LAB Entreprenør, AF Decom, AF Offshore Decom, AF Elkraft, AF Eiendom, and AF Bygg Syd. Each company maintains its own expertise while sharing a common culture focused on entrepreneurship, local decision-making, quality, safety, and ethical business practices.
