A Norwegian construction firm, Per Kristian Tranberg service og vedlikehold, has filed for bankruptcy, leaving approximately 50 employees affected, according to reports on January 8, 2026.
The bankruptcy filing follows a period of financial difficulty for the company. The construction sector is often a bellwether for broader economic trends, and this insolvency could signal challenges within the Norwegian building industry.
Adding to the financial concerns, the company’s former managing director is facing scrutiny after transferring 280,000 Norwegian kroner to a personal account just days before the firm declared bankruptcy. This transfer prompted an investigation by the Norwegian Tax Administration, as detailed in Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen.
Creditors are reportedly owed more than 40 million kroner. Further details on the bankruptcy proceedings and the company’s financial situation can be found on Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen’s dedicated konkurses page. The bankruptcy impacts workers in Biri, Norway, as reported by Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen.
