This change marks an important step in a broader strategic reorganisation within IK Group, aimed at providing a clear and distinct separation between our two core business areas – IK Subsea and IK Topside.

As part of this process, IK Topside AS will be established as a separate limited company and is expected to begin operating independently by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, IK Subsea AS will continue its operations under the existing organisation, now carrying its new name.

This development strengthens our overall structure, enabling each company to focus more sharply on its respective market, enhance operational efficiency, and continue delivering high-quality solutions to our clients and partners.

Both companies will issue separate communications to customers and suppliers closer to the completion of the demerger, outlining any practical implications and relevant updates.

For further information, please contact Bjørnar Austvik, Finance Director, IK Group, at Bjornar.Austvik@ik-worldwide.com

This acquisition presents a unique opportunity for Izomax to further strengthen its engineering capabilities, significantly boosting its ability to deliver its advanced AOGV technology.

This expansion reinforces Izomax’s commitment to providing best-in-class services to clients in the UK market.

Strengthening Izomax’s Presence in the Americas

We are also pleased to announce that Izomax is acquiring IK Group US Inc., further strengthening its footprint in the Americas. This acquisition enables Izomax to expand into new markets within the process industry while reinforcing its offerings in the upstream and downstream oil and gas sectors. With the Americas’ oil and gas market expected to grow, this move ensures Izomax remains competitive and well-positioned to deliver AOGV technology to meet client needs.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, we are excited about the future and the opportunities ahead. By leveraging Izomax’s groundbreaking AOGV technology and extending its global reach, we are confident in the company’s continued growth and success.

Norclamp, a subsidiary of IK Group, offers a flagship product line featuring the Split Clamp, Compact Clamp, and the industry’s first Infinity Clamp. Designed for versatility, these clamps come in various dimensions and pressure ratings, with a strong focus on standardization. This approach significantly reduces lead times and costs, ensuring our entire product suite is available for emergency delivery when it matters most.

The demand for extending the life of ageing energy pipeline infrastructure through maintenance and repair is expected to grow steadily in the coming decades. This is largely driven by the industry’s focus on preserving existing investments made over the last century rather than reinvesting in new infrastructure.

“I am excited to join Norclamp and contribute to the development of the company. The potential for our products and services is tremendous. It is especially rewarding to work with solutions that enhance asset integrity for the benefit of our customers and society while focusing on sustainability and technology. I look forward to learning from the talented people in this organization,” says Rosnes.

We’re happy to have you on board, Christian, and wish you and Norclamp great success as we continue to build a stronger future together!

This move marks an exciting new chapter for Izomax. The upgraded, spacious headquarters provide an ideal environment to support the company’s ambitious growth plans and commitment to innovation in the years ahead.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this special occasion. We’re excited to see what the future holds for Izomax and can’t wait to witness their continued success in the years to come!
