Veidekke: To expand Nortura's Facility at Rudshøgda

Veidekke has been awarded the contract to modernize and expand Nortura's

production facility at Rudshøgda in Innlandet. The collaborative contract is

valued at NOK 125 million, excluding VAT.

"We have carried out a successful pre-project phase with Nortura since this

summer, and we are very pleased to have reached an agreement on yet another

construction project for Nortura. This is a well-developed and solid project

that will create ripple effects and mean a lot to many," says Stein Arne

Bjørgen, Acting District Manager at Veidekke Bygg Innlandet.

The project includes the construction of two production buildings for meat

processing, measuring approximately 1,200 m² and 500 m² respectively. In

addition, Veidekke will carry out remodeling work on existing structures and

build two rooms totaling around 100 m² for fire-safe charging of electric

autonomous trucks.

"At Nortura, we are consolidating processing operations on several locations to

strengthen competitiveness while ensuring capacity to handle livestock from

across the country. At Rudshøgda, we will invest around NOK 270 million over the

next year to secure jobs, implement new technology and automate operations. This

will enable more efficient production and ensure a good working environment for

our employees," says Ingrid Ulvolden, Plant Manager at Nortura.

Construction work has already commenced, with completion scheduled for January

The contract will be included in Veidekke's order backlog for the fourth quarter

of 2025.
