- Sentia ASA, a Norway-based construction company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Oslo, engages in building large and complex projects across Norway and Sweden, operating primarily through its HENT segment in Norway and Sentia Sweden segment; HENT delivers schools, cultural buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, care homes, universities, sports centres, administrative buildings, police and defence facilities, swimming pools, hotels, offices, industrial buildings, apartment buildings, station buildings, land-based fish farming facilities, and factory buildings, while Sentia Sweden, comprising Vestia Construction Group, SSEA AB, and Kiruna Målbygg, focuses on hospitals, sports halls, office buildings, public buildings, residential developments, and commercial properties. The company targets public and private clients in partnering and collaboration models that emphasize early involvement, aligned incentives, reduced risk, and high customer satisfaction, with recurring customers generating the majority of revenue; it employs approximately 1,450 people across nine offices in Norway and five in Sweden, achieving 2024 revenues of NOK 10.6 billion and ranking as the sixth-largest construction firm in the two countries. In late 2024, Ratos AB consolidated its construction operations by combining Norway's HENT with Sweden's SSEA Group into Sentia as the parent entity to form a leading Nordic contractor capable of leveraging cross-border expertise for larger projects; Sentia applied for listing on Euronext Oslo Børs in May 2025 to enhance visibility, broaden ownership, access capital markets, and support growth in sustainable construction aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, including innovative use of cross-laminated timber.
