The company experienced losses in both 2024 and 2025, a situation owners anticipated given the startup phase. Operational deficits were not unexpected, according to Runar Hellem, and revenue for the 2024/2025 period reached 9.77 million Norwegian kroner.
Reported Nearly One Million Kroner Loss
Neither year constituted a full fiscal year, resulting in a combined operational loss of under one million kroner over the two-year period – 725,000 kroner in 2025 and 258,000 kroner in 2024.

The company anticipates its 2026 financials will show a balanced result, citing investments in equipment and tools as key factors in the initial deficits. This suggests a strategic focus on building infrastructure for future growth.
“Who is covering the two years of losses?”
“The owners are,” Hellem stated. “There’s a strong ownership group behind this, and they are prepared to cover the losses now, as they believe this has the potential to grow into something larger and stronger.”
