INTRO

Niels Amlie CEO, O.B.Wiik Covers AS

As CEO of O.B.Wiik Covers AS, it is a pleasure to look back on a year that has been both challenging and rewarding.

2025 has shown us the importance of combining quality, flexibility, and innovation to meet a market in transition. Our core business – tarpaulins, tents, and solutions for protecting valuable assets – continues to be in demand, and we have strengthened our position as a leading player in Norway.

The year has been marked by significant challenges and lower activity in the construction sector, which has affected demand in parts of the market. Despite this, we have managed to maintain stable operations and deliver on our core areas.

This would not have been possible without our fantastic employees. Our team has demonstrated remarkable commitment, creativity, and collaboration. They have stepped up when times were tough, found solutions when challenges piled up, and ensured that our customers continue to receive the quality they expect.

Intro

We have also taken important steps toward sustainability. We reuse packaging wherever possible and have focused on environmentally friendly logistics solutions to reduce our carbon footprint. This is not just a responsibility we take seriously – it is part of our strategy for the future.

In addition, we have participated in several trade fairs to strengthen relationships and showcase our solutions to new customers.

Another major highlight is the launch of our new online store, making it easier for customers to shop.

Looking ahead to 2026, our ambitions are clear: • • •

Continued growth through new partnerships and expanded distribution.

Sustainability in focus, investments in ecofriendly materials and smarter logistics.

Digitalization, with further development of the online store and enhanced customer interaction.

We enter the new year with a clear strategy: to remain the preferred supplier of tarpaulins and tent solutions in Norway.

Together with our customers and partners, we will continue to build security, quality, and value – no matter the weather. And with such a dedicated team behind us, I am confident we will succeed.

L&N Supply Ships optimises logistics at Skagen Harbour O.B.Wiik Denmark

Flexibility is key when specific requirements need to be met. When L&N Supply Ships approached O.B.Wiik Denmark, it was clear that a tailor-made solution was required to deliver their new storage hall.

Designed for challenging coastal conditions, the hall provides a strong, reliable base for the customer’s logistics operations throughout the year.

Erik Abildskov Project Manager, O.B.Wiik Denmark

Hall

Located at the northern tip of Denmark, Skagen Harbour is a busy logistics hub where ships from around the world pass daily. For companies servicing these vessels, efficient logistics and centrally located supply depots are vital to smooth operations. L&N Supply Ships faced a logistical challenge as their storage facilities were previously spread across several locations in Skagen.

existing pier infrastructure at Skagen Harbour.

To streamline operations and optimise their supply chain, they decided to consolidate its storage in one central facility at Skagen Harbour. They turned to us for a customised hall solution that could fit the unique harbour location and meet demanding operational requirements.

No logistics solution is complete without access efficiency. The hall includes a large gable gate for truck access from the road, as well as two side gates for direct access to ships moored alongside the quay.

880m² solution Working closely with the client, we designed and installed a bespoke WiikHall measuring 22m by 40m, providing 880m² of functional space.

The hall was precisely adapted to fit the

To ensure durability and year-round usability, the hall was equipped with several key features: LED lighting for optimal visibility, fully storm-secured fabric cladding to withstand coastal winds, and printed gable logos to make the hall unmistakably L&N Supply Ships.

Despite its size, the hall blends neatly into the industrial harbour surroundings.

Through the delivery of everything from building permits to the finished hall, we helped L&N Supply Ships centralise their storage, strengthen logistics, and improve workflow at one of Denmark’s most dynamic harbours.

When storm Ingunn swept across Norway, several coastal regions faced high winds and severe weather.

At Fiskå Mølle, one of Norway’s oldest agricultural companies, the storm left serious damage to the roof of a large bulk storage hall.

Fast response restores stormdamaged hall at Fiskå Mølle O.B.Wiik Services AS

With operations dependent on a weatherproof facility, Fiskå Mølle contacted O.B.Wiik Services AS for urgent repairs. The O.B.Wiik team responded quickly, inspecting the structure and replacing the damaged roof canvas to restore full function and protection.

Repair instead of replace While O.B.Wiik’s canvases are designed to withstand harsh weather, accidents and wear can occur over time. Through O.B.Wiik Services AS, customers can replace full canvases or individual sections, extending the lifespan of their structures without the cost or environmental impact of a new build.

This approach ensures each hall continues to perform as intended— offering better insulation, improved protection, and a renewed appearance.

A trusted name in Norway Founded over 150 years ago, Fiskå Mølle is a key producer of high-quality animal feed for farmers across Norway.

The company relies on reliable and efficient storage facilities to protect raw materials and maintain production flow throughout the year.

The affected hall—used for bulk material storage—was returned to service within a short timeframe following O.B.Wiik’s intervention.

The replacement included a new, durable canvas featuring the Fiskå Mølle logo printed on the sidewall, maintaining both branding and appearance.

Our service team’s goal is to keep every hall performing at its best.

In Fiskå Mølle’s case, we were able to act quickly after the storm and deliver a solution that extended the life of their building.

Hybrid WiikHall combines strength and flexibility for BIOFOS O.B.Wiik Denmark

BIOFOS, Denmark’s largest wastewater utility, treats wastewater from around 1.2 million people in the Copenhagen area.

When the company needed additional covered space at one of its treatment facilities, they turned to O.B.Wiik Denmark for a solution that both protected their operations and visually matched the rest of the site.

To meet these goals, we designed a 25m span by 40m long hall with a leg height of 5m, built using a combination of steel and PVC cladding.

Best of both worlds

This hybrid construction offers the best of both worlds: the lower steel panels provide impact protection and security for the stored goods, while the upper fabric sections maximise light and minimise weight.

The result is a clean finish that matches the client’s site perfectly.

Our hybrid hall concept combines materials and smart design to deliver durable, customised solutions that fit perfectly within any industrial site.

Erik Abildskov Project Manager, O.B.Wiik Denmark Watch now

The hall features solid steel cladding reaching 3m high, supported by a concrete base, with durable PVC fabric above and across the roof.

Anti-theft tent supports SuperBrugsen in Galten O.B.Wiik Denmark

When a warehouse fire affected SuperBrugsen in Galten, the supermarket chain urgently needed a secure solution to maintain operations while a new facility was planned.

O.B.Wiik Denmark delivered a tailormade WiikHall Instant work shelter designed to balance flexibility, practicality, and security.

Mobile work shelter protects bridge project in Hjulsta O.B.Wiik Sweden

Bridge construction and maintenance often depend on weather conditions, which can delay sensitive operations such as sealing and coating.

In Hjulsta, north of Stockholm, O.B.Wiik Sweden helped mitigate this challenge by supplying a large, mobile WiikHall Instant shelter on rails for contractor Veidekke.

The shelter measured 15m in width, 90m in length, and 4m in leg height, and was purpose-built to support ongoing sealing work on a bridge section.

Shelter on rails The modular WiikHall Instant was installed on O.B.Wiik’s rail system, allowing the structure to be moved along the bridge as work progressed.

Each section could be opened, closed, or repositioned as needed, giving full flexibility without exposing the worksite to sudden rain or changing weather.

This rail-mounted system also enabled the contractor to handle movements independently, or with assistance from O.B.Wiik’s installation team, ensuring minimal downtime and full control during construction.

Efficient protection for precision work By using the mobile shelter, the customer maintained dry and stable working conditions for critical sealing operations, preventing costly delays and ensuring quality results despite variable weather.

Bridge work demands precision and control. Our rail-mounted WiikHall Instant shelters allow contractors to keep working efficiently, regardless of weather.

WiikHall Instant shelters protect cultural values in Stavanger O.B.Wiik Covers AS

A major archaeological excavation is currently taking place in Tasta, Stavanger, ahead of the construction of the new E39 Smiene–Harestad highway.

Since work began in August 2025, archaeologists have uncovered significant findings from both the Viking Age and the Middle Ages, including traces of houses, ovens, and fireplaces that reveal centuries of human activity.

32

To ensure this important work could continue through the winter months, O.B.Wiik Covers AS supplied three WiikHall Instant 8.5 shelters with a wall height of 2.5m.

The project was delivered in collaboration with PS Selskapsutleie, O.B.Wiik’s local logistics and installation partner in the Stavanger region, ensuring quick and efficient setup on site.

Protecting values, past and present The shelters create a dry, stable environment where excavation can continue uninterrupted, protecting both people and artefacts from harsh weather. By safeguarding the conditions for this work, the structures contribute directly to preserving cultural heritage and reflect O.B.Wiik’s commitment to ‘Protecting values’.

WiikHall Instant shelters offer reliable protection for sensitive work like this, helping to preserve important cultural heritage.

Zurhaar Property Expands to Sweden with O.B.Wiik AB O.B.Wiik Sweden

Last week, Rune Birkeland and Johan Eckerby visited Enköping to review the progress on O.B.Wiik Sweden’s new head office and storage facilities.

The investment demonstrates our unwavering confidence in O.B.Wiik Sweden and reflects the strength of the Zurhaar Group. The new facilities will both enhance O.B.Wiik’s operational capacity and lay the foundation for continued innovation, growth, and success.

Rune Birkeland CEO / Owner, Zurhaar AS

The project represents an important milestone, not only for O.B.Wiik AB, but also for the wider Zurhaar Group.

The property and building are owned

by Zurhaar AS and leased by O.B.Wiik, creating a strong synergy between the property and industrial sides of the business.

The new facilities include: •

•

Office building: 300 m² modern office spaces designed to provide a comfortable and efficient working environment for the team.

Warm storage hall: insulated fabric building, 30m wide, 34m long, with a wall height of 7m. The structure features 200mm insulated PVC fabric, produced by Rubb Polska.

Cold storage hall: non-insulated structure, 25m wide, 20m long, with a wall height of 7m.

This significant investment marks an important step in O.B.Wiik AB’s development, enabling improved logistics and a greatly enhanced working environment for the entire organisation.

•

Construction of the new office building is being led by G Construct AB, the main contractor for the project, under the management of Tomas Karlsson, Project Manager (Arbetschef). O.B.Wiik AB is the supplier and main contractor for the site’s two fabric storage halls.

By aligning the property and industrial business segments in this way, Zurhaar AS is demonstrating how companies within the Zurhaar Group can work together to create lasting value, both for our customers and for the Group as a whole.

Engineering clarity: Vevyr launches Vevyr Engineering AS

Founded in 2025, Vevyr Engineering AS enters the market as a new specialist in structural engineering and technical design for membrane and sandwichclad buildings.

Though the company is new, its expertise is anything but.

Backed by the Zurhaar Group, Vevyr builds upon decades of industrial knowledge from across Rubb Industries and O.B.Wiik, delivering precisionengineered steel structures for fabric and modular buildings.

At the helm is Fredrik Holmedal, CEO of both Rubbhall AS and Vevyr Engineering AS. A natural evolution “Vevyr was created to meet an internal and external demand for advanced structural engineering expertise,” Fredrik explains.

“We already had a strong technical foundation within the group, but as projects grew in scale and complexity, it made sense to establish a dedicated engineering company.”

The idea was simple: to create a focused technical unit that serves both the group’s operational companies and independent clients across Scandinavia and Europe.

“By centralising our engineering capability, we can ensure every structure—no matter where it’s built— meets the same high standard of design, documentation, and compliance,” Fredrik continues. “It’s about bringing clarity and confidence to every project.”

Built on steel

The power of collaboration

Vevyr’s team specialises in the analysis and design of steel constructions for membrane and sandwich-clad buildings.

Their work covers everything from early concept design and load calculations to full digital models and compliance documentation.

Vevyr’s position within the Zurhaar Group allows it to work closely with both Rubbhall AS and O.B.Wiik AS, supporting projects from Norway to the UK and beyond.

“We focus on what we know best: structural precision,” says Fredrik. “Our engineers combine experience from the field with digital tools like Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect. That allows us to deliver efficient, traceable, and fully verified results.”

This focus on accuracy and coordination supports a wide range of industries— from logistics and aviation to defence and sports—where reliability and turnaround time are crucial.

Engineering with integrity Fredrik sees Vevyr as more than just a technical service provider. “We’re engineers, but we’re also partners,” he says. “Whether we’re working with architects, contractors, or developers, our role is to make the design process easier and the results more predictable.”

That philosophy extends to sustainability as well. “By optimising steel use and applying low-carbon design principles, we help reduce material waste and environmental impact,” he explains. “It’s good engineering and good practice.”

“Collaboration is at the heart of what we do,” Fredrik says. “We’re surrounded by companies that build at scale and operate globally. That environment pushes us to maintain a very high standard in both design quality and delivery speed.”

He notes that Vevyr’s independence within the group is key. “We’re a neutral engineering partner. That means we can work just as easily with clients outside the group as we can with our own operating companies.”

Looking ahead Although Vevyr’s foundation is in the Zurhaar Group’s long-standing expertise, its future lies in innovation.

“We’re investing in automation and digital workflows to make our processes faster and even more reliable,” Fredrik says. “The goal is to keep improving how engineering supports construction—less risk, more precision.”

With an experienced team, group-wide backing, and a clear technical vision, Vevyr is set to bring engineering clarity to an industry built on steel.
