Green Landscaping acquires Oveland Utemiljø AS in Norwegian Sørlandet

Oveland Utemiljø was founded in 2002 and has developed from being a small player in landscaping to being a well-established company that employs up to 50 employees during the season. The company has sales of approximately NOK 65 million with a sound level of profitability.

- Oveland Utemiljø has its strength in the high-quality level of the company's employees and natural stone walls among other things. I am convinced that when the company now becomes part of our Norwegian organization, they can take the next step in their development, says Johan Nordström, CEO of Green Landscaping Group.

- We have, for a long time, been thinking about how we can play a role in the development of the Norwegian landscaping market without good enough gut feeling regards to how it could be implemented. With Green Landscaping Group, we are convinced that we have come to the right place. Together with Gast Entreprenør and Hadeland Maskindrift, we will act and take responsibility for the development of the group in southern Norway.

- We welcome Reiulf, Tor Bjørn and all employees at Oveland Utemiljø to Green Landscaping Group. Our journey in Norway has only just begun and the future looks clearly positive for further development.
