Rapp Bomek AS has entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in Beko Industriverksted AS. The acquisition marks an important step in Rapp Bomek’s ambition to strengthen its position within advanced steel constructions, mechanical services, and deliveries to critical infrastructure. With Beko joining the company’s portfolio, Rapp Bomek gains increased capacity and access to solid technical expertise that complements its existing offering.
​
As part of the integration plan, Beko Industriverksted AS will relocate its operations to the same location as Rapp Bomek during the first quarter of 2026. This will bring production, experience and technical environments closer together, paving the way for improved collaboration, faster processes, and new opportunities for further development.
​
— “Beko has delivered quality and strong professional competence for many years. By bringing our teams together at one location, we can collaborate more closely, strengthen production, and develop new services and products. This is an important step in our commitment to local industry and increased capacity,” says Kurt Kristoffersen, CEO of Rapp Bomek AS.

The former owners will be actively involved during the transition period, and Beko will continue as a separate company within the Rapp Bomek Group.

— “For us, it has been essential to find a long-term, locally rooted industrial owner capable of taking Beko forward. Rapp Bomek knows both the market and the region well. The co-location will bring clear advantages and make things easier for both employees and customers,” say former shareholders Gøran Thuv and John Harald Didriksen.
​
The acquisition will not lead to any changes for customers or employees in daily operations. Both companies place great emphasis on a safe, predictable and structured integration process, with quality and delivery capability at the forefront.

On September 25, the Opplyst 2025 conference will take place – a major highlight for the business community in Bodø and the Salten region. Rapp Bomek is among the nominees for the Global Growth Award.

The award goes to “a company that sees the whole world as its playground” – with the following criteria:

• International level of ambition

• Proven international growth/expansion
• Solid financial performance
• Regional value creation

We are proud to be nominated and see this as a recognition of our efforts to develop sustainable solutions for the industry – both national and international.

Rapp Bomek has entered into a significant framework agreement with Equinor for the maintenance of safety doors on the Norwegian continental shelf and onshore facilities. The agreement has a duration of four years, with the possibility of extension for an additional two plus two years. This represents a strategic milestone for Rapp Bomek and strengthens the company’s position as a leading provider of safety solutions to the energy sector.

​The scope of the agreement includes inspection, maintenance, and upgrades of Rapp Bomek’s advanced fire doors and other safety products installed at Equinor-operated facilities. These doors play a critical role in protecting personnel and infrastructure, both offshore and onshore, ensuring high levels of safety and operational efficiency.

"We are very proud to enter into this framework agreement with Equinor, which recognizes our expertise and the quality of our products. The agreement provides a unique opportunity to further develop our collaboration with Equinor and strengthens our presence in both the Norwegian and international markets," says Kurt Kristoffersen, CEO of Rapp Bomek.

The grid is a modular system designed for securing and sectioning off specific areas in existing buildings. It can be easily adapted to fit the existing structure and is easy to install. Additionally, the grid can be disassembled, expanded with new modules, and reassembled to meet changing needs. The system has been tested according to NS-EN 1627 and meets the requirements for RC4 security level.

“This product is particularly well-suited for data processing and data-storage facilities where there is a need for cabling and ventilation,” says Eivind Seljenes Pedersen, R&D Manager at Rapp Bomek. He finds the development project and the goal of achieving the right performance with easy installation to be an exciting project.

Rapp Bomek has secured a strategically important contract with Aker Solutions for the delivery and installation of doors for the Draugen Power from Shore.
This project is related to the electrification of the Draugen oil and gas field off the coast of Kristiansund. The operator is OKEA ASA, and Aker Solutions is responsible for the development.
​
"We are very pleased to have been entrusted with this important project related to the electrification of the Norwegian continental shelf," says Steinar Nordheim, Sales Manager for Energy at Rapp Bomek.

Draugen is located in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea with 250 meters depth. The field is developed with a fixed concrete installation with an integrated deck, and it has both platform and subsea wells. Production started in 1993.

Rapp Bomek will supply 75 high-security doors and gates, as well as 100 lighter fire doors, to a new transformer station in Børdalen, Samnanger, and a compensator station in Fitjar. The facilities are unmanned and will house power supply equipment. The contract is valued at around 30 million NOK and is signed with Skanska Anlegg, which will handle the construction work.

"We are very pleased to secure such an important contract where the need for security is essential due to the purpose of the facilities," says Erik Forsaa, head of the Security division at Rapp Bomek.

"Rapp Bomek provided the best offer in terms of products and installation based on the requirements, standards, and performance we need to deliver. They also contributed significantly during the preliminary work to find the right security solutions for the facilities," says Stian Pettersen, procurement manager at Skanska.

In an era characterized by ever-increasing threats and vulnerabilities, securing critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. Among the most crucial parts of our common infrastructure are water supply systems. Secure and safe water supply is defined as a fundamental national function (GNF) in the security law, and it is therefore crucial how waterworks assess the threat landscape and how they are secured. Rapp Bomek believes Vestfold Vann is a player that leads the way in terms of how assets can be secured.

"It is exciting and interesting for Rapp Bomek to be able to contribute with security products to waterworks. We have delivered security products - doors/grids to several central waterworks," says Erik Forsaa.
​
Waterworks play a crucial role in delivering safe and reliable drinking water to millions of people. They constitute an essential part of the critical infrastructure that our society depends on to function properly.

"However, these facilities are often vulnerable to various threats, including sabotage, cyber attacks, and natural disasters. Therefore, it is of great importance to strengthen the security around these facilities to protect public health and ensure societal continuity," continues Erik Forsaa, head of the Security segment at Rapp Bomek.

Leif Riis, who contributes to the development of 'Guidance for securing water supply facilities and against deliberate unwanted actions' for Norwegian Water, emphasizes the importance of using security products that are certified and approved according to international standards for intrusion security.

Rapp Bomek is a leading player in securing critical infrastructure, and the products are known for their high quality and reliability.

Center for High North Logistics, Kunnskapsparken Bodø, Rapp Bomek, Bodø municipality, and Exercise North welcome you to the forum for valuation and physical security:
Nord University, Bodø campus, April 22, 2024, at 09:00

Welcome to the meeting place for business, government, and academia for all those focused on safe and predictable operations in turbulent times. This year's forum is the first in what will be an annual event for all those concerned with physical security and business valuation in Norway.
​
A series of events in recent years show that all types of critical infrastructure in Norway have obvious vulnerabilities both in relation to attacks from hostile actors and natural disasters. Northern Norway has a particularly vulnerable position, emphasized in the report of the Total Defense Commission.
