Who we are

This is our story

ELFO’s journey began in October 2018. Since then, it has been quite a journey. Early on, we started the ISO 9001 Certification process, and was certified by the end of April 2020. This ensures the quality of our processes within product development and the services we provide. Up to this date we have expanded and grown from the two co-founders to todays’ 7 employees and 7-8 hired resources. We have carefully handpicked our team based on the combination of knowledge, experience, and trust.

Our core business today is within the oil and gas segment subsea, but business areas which is within our competence, are of our interest. We support our clients and develop our own products; designing, building, testing, and qualify, if required. Even though we are a small, local company, we still perform service work at clients’ locations world-wide!

Only in a couple of years we have had the pleasure of collaborating with several big companies, as we today can proudly call our customers. Among these are Equinor, AKER, Technip FMC, Tampnet, ITP, Agility, NOV, TE, Nexans and Oceanering.
