Translink Corporate Finance acted as the advisor to Sertion, a Portfolio Company of Consolid Equity, in the acquisition of IRV AS
Translink Corporate Finance Sweden acted as financial and strategic advisor to Sertion, a Portfolio Company of Consolid Equity, in the acquisition of IRV AS.
IRV AS is one of Norway’s foremost independent suppliers of high-quality fabrication and installation of pipes and structures in carbon steel, alloy steel, and aluminium. The company serves a wide range of industries including oil and gas, shipbuilding and yards, energy, food processing, and general industrial sectors.
Sertion expands and strengthens market position
This strategic acquisition strengthens Sertion’s position in the Norwegian market and expands its capabilities within industrial piping and structural fabrication. IRV AS’s strong presence across oil and gas, maritime, power, food processing, and general industry complements Sertion’s Nordic platform and enhances its ability to deliver complex technical solutions across multiple sectors.
With significant investments in certified welding procedures, automated welding operations, and – most importantly – a highly skilled workforce, IRV AS has built a strong reputation for delivering efficient and reliable solutions in demanding environments.
Comments from Sertion
Andreas Bogren, Group CEO of Sertion, says, ”The acquisition of IRV AS is fully in line with our strategy to expand operations within technical infrastructure and industrial services. IRV AS’s strong customer base, technical expertise, and experienced team further strengthen our offering and provide our clients with an even more complete partner.”
Comments from Sertion IRV AS
Kjetil Aasbakk Aksnes, CEO of IRV AS, says, ”Becoming part of Sertion brings new opportunities for us to grow and evolve. We look forward to combining our experience with Sertion’s resources and ambitions to continue delivering top-class service.”
