The upcoming listing follows an announcement made by Kongsberg Gruppen in October last year regarding its intention to divide operations into two separate companies, each targeting different market areas.
In preparation for the demerger and stock market debut, incoming CEO of Kongsberg Maritime, Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, met with investors and analysts last week in Oslo to outline the company’s position.
Edvardsen Haugan said: “As we soon become independent, we bring with us 200 years of company history — both from Kongsberg Gruppen and through maritime heritage from the companies that today make up our global group, with more than 8,000 employees in 35 countries. Our systems and solutions are installed on one third of the global fleet — on more than 30,000 vessels worldwide.
“At Kongsberg Maritime, we are ready to take the next step and stand on our own. We are uniquely positioned to take part in the value creation ahead in the global maritime sector. We have the people, the expertise, and the innovative capacity needed to solve the technological challenges the maritime industry will face in the years to come.”
