Frydenbø Industri, is where the adventure began 105 years ago. The subgroup is among Norway's leading suppliers of products and services to the marine/land-based industry. The head office is located at Hanøytangen outside Bergen and we currently have 165 employees.

Since 1993, Frydenbø Industri has collaborated with FPT on complete propulsion systems for smaller vessels. Larger propulsion solutions are delivered through the engine supplier ABC. Important activities are service (mechanical and electrical) and delivery of parts to the professional market, from locations in Oslo, Bergen, Ålesund, Alta, Øksfjord, Havøysund and Sortland. In 2019, the industrial group established a department in Sweden in addition to online shopping for spare parts.

Frydenbø Industri has developed its own solutions for hybrid propulsion systems for workboats, exhaust gas purification systems, and life extension for lifeboat engines, as part of our commitment to sustainable products.

Mission

Frydenbø Group is a family-owned group and preserves its traditional roots as a Bergen-based company. This does not prevent us from thinking globally or considering alternative ownership constellations within the individual group. We focus on value-creating ownership.

Frydenbø's mission represents the group's work and why we exist;

Creating value through generations – with headquarters in Bergen.
