Goals, environment and values
Møre Trafo AS is a member of RENAS, which ensures the return of all electrical products and components for recycling after a 30-year period of use. Our manufacturing processes take place in Norway to ensure that our customers have products with “low mileage”, thus sparing the environment any unnecessary CO2 emissions. We are working continuously to reduce our use of raw materials through optimal production methods and logistics to protect the environment in the best possible way. Transformers from Møre Trafo are designed to be no less than 99% efficient and to be up to 98% recyclable. The company has also implemented a comprehensive service and maintenance programme for the repair of transformers. This means that all replaceable components are handled in an environmentally friendly way, involving safety and risk assessments for health, climate and energy-saving, among other things.
History
Møre Trafo was established in 1951 by Oddvar Rieve Kristiansen under the name Møre Transformatorfabrikk. In its early years, the company leased production premises prior to the construction of a new factory at Aursneset in Sykkylven. Those early years primarily involved the production of transformers before the company began to produce substations in 1979. The factory has steadily expanded as both production and the number of employees have grown. Møre Trafo AS continues to be a family-owned company. The company is now run by the second generation under the direction of CEO Tor Rieve Kristiansen and Jo Rieve Kristiansen as manager of the property company Rieve Gruppen. The company has a production area of 11,000m2 and employs 125 people at the modern production facility at Aursnes in Sykkylven.
