KONGSBERG’s new facility in Horten officially opened on October 8. Spanning 45,000 square metres, it brings together offices, production facilities, test pools, and a state-of-the-art warehouse. All designed for the future.
Eirik Lie, President & CEO of KONGSBERG, delivered the welcome address, highlighting the importance of the new facility.
“I am both proud and impressed by this spectacular waterfront building. With 45,000 square metres of offices, high-tech laboratories, and modern production lines, Horizon is far more than walls and ceilings. It reflects KONGSBERG’s innovative strength and ambitions. Our investment here demonstrates our confidence in the strong technology community built in Horten,” he said.
Building on local industrial heritage Camilla Kiss, Executive Vice President at KONGSBERG and President of Discovery, welcomed guests including Horten Mayor Christina Bratli, Chair of the Board Eivind Reiten, members of Parliament, partners, and customers.
“This building has already become a place we greatly value. It supports growth, innovation, development, and collaboration across divisions and business units. We are building for the future on historic ground, and we are proud to continue Norway’s industrial legacy here at Karljohansvern,” Kiss said.
