Veidekke has been awarded the contract to modernize and expand Nortura's
production facility at Rudshøgda in Innlandet. The collaborative contract is
valued at NOK 125 million, excluding VAT.
"We have carried out a successful pre-project phase with Nortura since this
summer, and we are very pleased to have reached an agreement on yet another
construction project for Nortura. This is a well-developed and solid project
that will create ripple effects and mean a lot to many," says Stein Arne
Bjørgen, Acting District Manager at Veidekke Bygg Innlandet.
The project includes the construction of two production buildings for meat
processing, measuring approximately 1,200 m² and 500 m² respectively. In
addition, Veidekke will carry out remodeling work on existing structures and
build two rooms totaling around 100 m² for fire-safe charging of electric
autonomous trucks.
"At Nortura, we are consolidating processing operations on several locations to
strengthen competitiveness while ensuring capacity to handle livestock from
across the country. At Rudshøgda, we will invest around NOK 270 million over the
next year to secure jobs, implement new technology and automate operations. This
will enable more efficient production and ensure a good working environment for
our employees," says Ingrid Ulvolden, Plant Manager at Nortura.
Construction work has already commenced, with completion scheduled for January
2027.
The contract will be included in Veidekke's order backlog for the fourth quarter
of 2025.
