Jotne - engineering technology

From a small beginning as EPM Consultants nearly 30 years ago, Jotne has developed step by step in a number of directions. Yet the fundamental industrial platform of technology and engineering is common to all our businesses. Today, Jotne comprises a group of highly skilled engineering companies, which supply knowledge, products and services to the oil and gas, aerospace, defense, processing and manufacturing, transport and environmental sectors.

Nearly eighteen years ago this understanding of technology, engineering and production formed the starting point for our expansion into the area of technical support/Information Technology systems. Jotne’s software is used today by the world’s leading civil aviation, space technology, oil and gas, vehicle manufacturing and defense industries. Our solutions are based on our own groundbreaking technology which takes as its starting point our customers’ desire for standardized data models and data exchange formats.

Our third business area, property management, ownership and development, supports our industrial activities. In our view it is both necessary and desirable to have full control over our production facilities. Today we own all the properties in which we have operations, and see that this provides long-term security for our businesses. Our activities in the property market will eventually afford opportunities for spin-offs in the form of redevelopment projects, with our sound technical and industrial competence providing a good foundation for future investments.

Our way of thinking may be a little unusual at a time when the trend is to ‘concentrate’ technologies and markets. However, we believe that highly competent, all-round technological environments help to spawn and develop good ideas. Over the years we have proved this by developing centres of excellence within several of our core businesses. Our versatility also offers us protection against changes in the business cycle. Although we must always be prepared for difficult times, we feel that the Jotne Group’s ability to adapt rapidly to change puts us in a strong position to meet whatever challenges may arise in the form of growth or consolidation.
