About Oglaend System
Oglaend System makes cable ladders, supports and fastening systems for offshore platforms and ships, work that is harsher on metal than ordinary construction. Hilti acquired the Norwegian group in 2017 and still reports it as a separate cash-generating unit tied to its offshore business, rather than folding it into the main group, because its prospects follow the offshore market.
