Chemical success to wonder There were no strategic raw materials on the spot. They also got no natural strategic competence locally.

The questions are closest to queue when to be presented:  How can an international research center for concrete and epoxy additives, important for oil extraction in the North Sea, end up in Nord-Odal?  And how can it be explained that a company with 200 employees says that 50 of them are in production - the rest adds something to their products ....?  At all - what does a company that works with concrete technology and polymer chemistry in Nord-Odalen, miles away from commodities and miles away markets? This success story began in 1976, when two brothers from Sogn after university studies and a few years in the uncle company in Oslo would start for themselves.

They rushed around in several municipalities but stopped in the meeting with Nord-Odal's young and enthusiastic Einar Olav Skogholt, who promised them housekeeping and promised to stand up for the company. Thus, they remained. The company got a municipality that has always been interested, and they have got a workforce who cares about their workplace.
