Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies AS (KOGT), a wholly owned company of KONGSBERG, has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Apply Nemo AS, an independent supplier of engineering services, products and solutions for subsea oil and gas applications. The acquisition, which is expected to be completed in January will strengthen KOGT`s deliveries to the subsea oil and gas market.

“Apply Nemo is an excellent match for KOGT because of its technological and product related focus, industry competence, culture and core deliveries,” states Pål Helsing, President and EVP, KOGT . “KOGT`s vision is to become a recognised supplier of world class subsea solutions based on innovative and value added products and technologies. We are very pleased with the acquisition, and see this as a platform for sustainable growth for KOGT in the subsea market.”

We are keen to integrate with KOGT`s subsea division and are confident that this will benefit customers, employees and future technology development”, adds Håkon Strømberg, Managing Director, Apply Nemo.
