Survitec has strengthened its marine safety portfolio in the Nordic region through the acquisition of NOHA Norway AS’s Marine Fire Service business, previously based in Ålesund.
The move brings a team of seven fire safety specialists under the Survitec brand, enhancing its ability to deliver integrated marine safety services across Norway and the wider region.
Survitec confirmed that Ålesund will remain a strategic base. Already known for its role in supporting the Nordic ferry and offshore sectors through Marine Evacuation Systems, liferafts, and survival technology, the site will now incorporate marine fire services – particularly in Water Mist systems – into its operations.
The company stated that the integration will streamline its service delivery, enabling more cohesive coordination across product and service lines.
Eric Herman, Executive Managing Director, Marine Europe at Survitec, welcomed the acquisition, saying: “Norway is a strategic growth market for Survitec, and this acquisition underlines our continued investment in providing customers with comprehensive, integrated safety solutions.
By welcoming the NOHA marine fire service team into our business, we are not only expanding our service capacity, we are also gaining decades of specialist knowledge and an exceptional reputation for customer service that will directly benefit our customers.”
Jan Eskil Hollen, Managing Director for Marine Nordics, added: “This acquisition expands our operational footprint and reinforces our commitment to the Norwegian market. By combining their deep technical expertise with Survitec’s global service network and legacy of innovation, we will accelerate the delivery of integrated fire and survival solutions across the region.”
NOHA Nordics’ Managing Director Frode Lemvik commented: “We wish our colleagues a fond farewell; this acquisition will enable them to continue to thrive in a business fully focused on protecting the marine industry.”
NOHA confirmed that the transfer reflects a strategic shift in its operations, allowing the company to focus on other areas of its business, while supporting the former team members in their new roles within Survitec.
The acquisition aligns with Survitec’s broader strategy to expand its core safety service capabilities. With the addition of NOHA’s marine fire specialists, the company reinforces its presence in a key market and accelerates its delivery of integrated safety solutions across the Nordic maritime sector.
