Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Kvinnherad, Norway (with operations centered in Husnes and Fosnavåg), Eqva ASA, formerly Havyard Group ASA until its name change in November 2022, pursues a buy-and-build strategy targeting asset-light Nordic industrial service firms for accretive growth. Recent developments include the May 2024 launch of EQVA Industrial Solutions as its primary platform; the October 2024 acquisition of Kvinnherad Elektro Group; the February 2025 acquisition of IMTAS Group; the March 2025 acquisition of Austevoll Rørteknikk (ART), strengthening its aquaculture positioning and closed in October 2025 with a mix of cash and locked-up shares; and robust Q2 2025 results showing 47% revenue growth driven by these integrations, alongside an upward trend in pro-forma EBITDA for EIS and a maintained equity ratio above 30% supporting further M&A.
