FROM CRAFTSMANSHIP TO HIGH TECHNOLOGY.
PRECISION IN STEEL SINCE 1948.
Sykkylven Stål emerged from an industrial environment that developed along the Sykkylvsfjord from the late 1940s. Several small workshops, including Solberg AS and Sykkylven Stålindustri, early on developed specialized expertise in metal processing for the rapidly growing furniture industry. This laid the foundation for a professional environment that combined mechanical precision, practical problem-solving, and a culture of continuous improvement.
From mechanical craftsmanship to advanced robotic welding processes
Throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, the companies that later came to be gathered under Sykkylven Stål were among the first in Norway to adopt modern production technology. The introduction of CNC-controlled machines for pipe and plate processing made the companies pioneers in efficient and precise metal production. Concurrently, a targeted effort began on advanced robotic welding processes, which over the next 40 years have been continuously developed with modern welding sources in robotic cells with rotating manipulators for maximum precision and efficiency. At the same time, the experiences from the furniture industry, which imposed strict requirements on precision, repeatability, and deliverability, became an important competitive advantage.
In the 1990s and 2000s, the company underwent several transformations, mergers, and growth phases. Even during periods of significant market shifts, such as oil price drops and global competition, the development of expertise, automation, and technological capacity continued. This opened up new opportunities, particularly within the maritime industry, where Sykkylven Stål eventually became a significant supplier of precision components.
Today, Sykkylven Stål stands as the result of more than 70 years of industrial development. We deliver precise steel parts, components, and systems to the furniture, maritime, and technical industries, and offer the entire value chain from idea and prototyping to machining, welding, assembly, and logistics. The company also develops its own brands such as Dynoform® and Dyfosit, which are exported to customers around the world.
Sustainability as direction
We actively work to support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on responsible production, resource efficiency, and long-lasting products.
