“The potential acquisition of Høglund Marine Solutions will enhance our portfolio of marine technologies and services and holds a strong strategic rationale. We have worked with the highly skilled Høglund team for years and see a significant potential in our combined international offering in the future,“ says Gunnar Larsen, Chief Executive Officer of HAV Group.

There is a strong strategic fit for our subsidiary Norwegian Electric Systems with complementary expertise, technology and products, especially in the global market of energy-saving digital solutions for power and automation. In addition, we see a very exciting opportunity for HAV Hydrogen to utilize Høglund’s fuel gas technology to provide tomorrow’s energy systems.
