MAP OF NORWAY
SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF SFI METAL PRODUCTION
Currently, metal and alloys are produced in more than
20 different locations in Norway. These locations are
dispersed throughout the country in areas with good
shipping ports and connections to renewable hydroelec-
tric power. Good shipping ports ensure the transport of
both raw materials and finished products. Many of the
Norwegian plants have changed ownership in the past
few years and the latest ownership change within the
industry partners in SFI Metal Production, is that Elkem
has acquired the ownership of Fesil Rana Metal.
Nine industry producers are partners in SFI Metal
Production. These industry sites are spread over the
whole country, from Finnfjord in the north to Kristansand
in the south. The map shows these locations and what
is produced. More details and the rest of the metallur-
gical industry can be found in the report “A overview
of Norwegian Metal Production” written by Eirik Nøst
Nedkvitne and Stephen Lobo under the supervision of
professor Leiv Kolbeinsen.
