Mustad Autoline is acquiring the assets of Havfront AS with the intention of continuing its technology and relocating production to Gjøvik

Securing Jobs and Continuing Expertise

We have great respect for the work done at Havfront. Significant effort has been invested in realizing the entrepreneurial venture, resulting in the production of high-quality products.

As part of the acquisition, Mustad Autoline aims to include key personnel from Havfront AS to preserve essential expertise that ensures continuity in customer relations, development, and production. We are currently in the takeover phase, and it will take some time before we are fully operational in parts delivery and service. We are already in contact with customers and will keep the market continuously updated.

Increased Capacity and Production in Gjøvik

The acquisition of Havfront AS provides Mustad Autoline with exciting additional products to the existing product range, which is currently fully produced in Gjøvik. Havfront’s products, smaller gutting and cutting machines for whitefish, are based on similar technology and production processes and fit well into the factory’s existing production facilities. With Havfront products, we utilize capacity and strengthen production in Gjøvik.

Long-Term Ambition

«The acquisition of Havfront AS’s estate is a strategically important decision for Mustad Autoline,» says CEO Anders Frisinger. The design and technical solutions of Havfront products are on par with Mustad Autoline machines and fit well into the company’s vertical integration. We can assure that Mustad Autoline has long-term and ambitious plans for the future of Havfront products.

Mustad Autoline overtar boet etter Havfront AS med ønske om å videreføre teknologien og legge produksjonen til Gjøvik

Sikrer arbeidsplasser og viderefører ekspertise
Vi har stor respekt for det arbeidet som er gjort i selskapet Havfront. Det er lagt ned betydelig innsats i å realiser gründervirksomheten som har resultert i produksjon av svært gode produkter av høy kvalitet.
Som en del av overtakelsen ønsker Mustad Autoline å ta med nøkkelpersonell fra Havfront AS for å bevare viktig ekspertise som sikrer kontinuitet i både kundekontakt, utvikling og produksjon. Vi er nå i en overtakelses fase og det vil ta noe tid før vi er fullt operative på deleleveranser og service. Vi er allerede i dialog med kunder og vil holde markedet løpende oppdatert.

Økt kapasitet og produksjon på Gjøvik
Overtakelsen av Havfront AS gir Mustad Autoline spennende tilleggsprodukt til eksisterende produktsortimentet som i dag produseres i sin helhet på Gjøvik. Havfront-produktene, mindre sløye- og kappemaskiner for hvitfisk, er basert på tilsvarende teknologi og produksjonsprosesser og passer godt inn i fabrikkens eksisterende produksjonsfasiliteter. Med Havfront produktene utnytter vi kapasiteten og styrker produksjonene på Gjøvik

langsiktig ambisjon
«Overtakelsen av boet etter Havfront AS er en strategisk viktig beslutning for Mustad Autoline» sier administrerende direktør Anders Frisinger. Havfront produktenes design og tekniske løsninger er helt på høyde med Mustad Autoline maskin og passer godt in i selskapets vertikale integrasjon.  Vi kan forsikre at Mustad Autoline tenker langsiktig og ambisiøst om Havfront produktenes fremtid.
