Splitkon new member of Norwegian Wood Cluster

Splitkon AS is the country’s largest manufacturer of load-bearing structures in solid wood and glulam and has production facilities and warehouses in Åmot in Modum municipality. Splitkon has approximately 70 employees.

Common challenges and sharing

– “We have followed the development of the Norwegian Wood Cluster with interest and see that the activities and network are very relevant to Splitkon. Now we want to become part of the cluster and aim to participate actively in most of the cluster’s professional groups,” says CEO. Morten L. Johansen in Splitkon.

– The industry’s need for documentation is an example of an area where we expect to benefit from participating in the Norwegian Wood Cluster. A clearer and unified use of resources within sustainability and the environment is an important area for Splitkon,” says Johansen.

– We also believe that the internationalization of our members’ businesses should be facilitated, and we are pleased that NWC is now establishing its own specialist group in this area,” says Johansen.

He points out that Splitkon has relevant experience that the company wants to share in the cluster.

– The Norwegian Wood Cluster has members from large parts of the value chain, and we look forward to getting to know and building long-term networks with NWC members. Perhaps we will eventually also come up with specific collaborative projects with other members,” says Morten L. Johansen of Splitkon.
