Published 13 Aug 2026 · 3 min read
Møre Trafo is bolstering Norway’s position in the critical infrastructure sector as the first company to be awarded the Made in Norway label for its transformers and substations.
The company offers exceptional reliability and operational stability, supplying power networks, industry, data centres, transport and renewable energy projects across Europe from its factory in Sykkylven, Norway.
“For us, Made in Norway is not just a label – it’s a commitment. A commitment to quality, sustainability, supply security, Norwegian production and local expertise. ”
Runar Tandstad
CEO of Møre Trafo
Established in 1951, Møre Trafo is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026. The company is the market leader in distribution transformers in Scandinavia and a leading supplier of substations to the Norwegian market.
All products are manufactured at the company’s factory in Sykkylven, where more than seven decades of precision, quality and craftsmanship are built into every delivery.
Møre Trafo is a full-service supplier, supporting customers throughout every stage of a project – from initial planning and needs assessment to production, delivery, installation and lifecycle support.
Built to withstand harsh Nordic conditions, Møre Trafo’s transformers and substations are also designed with sustainability in mind. Sustainable materials, long service life and thoroughly documented solutions help to reduce both risk and environmental impact.
The company offers a high level of service, excellent emergency preparedness and a complete aftersales service to ensure predictable operations, rapid response and lasting partnerships.
“The electrification of society is accelerating at record pace. The demand for a secure and stable power supply has never been higher and the tolerance for failure has never been lower. As a market leader, we take that responsibility seriously and Norwegian production is at the heart of how we deliver on it,” says CEO Runar Tandstad.
Targeting critical infrastructure markets across Norway and Europe
Norway remains Møre Trafo’s primary market, where the company holds a leading position in supplying distribution transformers and substations. Its solutions power everything from grid operators, data centres, industry, transport, solar and wind energy installations to the maritime sector. Beyond Norway, the company delivers critical infrastructure across Europe.
Møre Trafo’s customers benefit from a supplier with production and expertise close to the market, a deep understanding of operational reliability and emergency preparedness requirements, and solutions of the highest quality.
While some competitors rely on low-cost production far from the markets they serve, Møre Trafo’s Norwegian production base enables shorter delivery times and lower carbon footprint. The company is also the kind of responsive, knowledgeable partner required in critical infrastructure projects.
Norwegian production plays an important role in tomorrow’s energy system
Møre Trafo is the first company in its industry to be awarded the Made in Norway label and it uses Norwegian origin clearly and deliberately in positioning itself.
“We believe Norwegian production plays a decisive role in the energy system of the future. We see growing demand for stable access to critical infrastructure, reduced emissions throughout the value chain and suppliers who take responsibility, both locally and globally,” says Tandstad.
“Being first in our industry to receive the Made in Norway label is not something we take lightly – it’s a commitment we intend to honour through everything we do, now and in the future,” he adds.
“It is a mark of quality that reflects 75 years of Norwegian industrial heritage – and one we are proud to stand behind.”
