Overview

Røa Gjerdefabrikk is a Norwegian manufacturing company based in Vestre Aker, Oslo. The business was founded in 1954 by Bjørn Berg Larsen and has maintained its production base at Woxen farm near Bogstad since its establishment. Its name identifies it primarily with fencing manufacture, while its product scope also includes gates and security-related equipment such as alarm and surveillance systems. The company combines manufacturing with direct retail through a shop operated at the Woxen farm site. In 1985, ownership passed to Arne Austad, marking the principal ownership transition documented in the available reference material. The company is associated with the Norwegian market and appears to serve practical property-security and boundary-management needs through physical perimeter products and electronic security offerings. Publicly available information is limited, so detailed financial performance, corporate structure, leadership beyond the documented owner, product specifications, distribution arrangements, and current operating scale cannot be established from the supplied sources.

History

Røa Gjerdefabrikk was established in 1954 by Bjørn Berg Larsen as a manufacturing business in Norway. From the beginning, its facilities were located at Woxen farm near Bogstad in the Vestre Aker area of Oslo. This long-term connection to one site is a defining feature of the company: the location has served both as its manufacturing base and, later, as the site of a company shop. The business name refers to fence manufacturing, and its documented range developed around fences and gates before also encompassing alarm and surveillance equipment. This combination places the company at the intersection of traditional metal or boundary-product manufacturing and property-security services. In 1985, Arne Austad bought the company from its founding ownership. The available reference material does not provide details about the transaction's terms, any changes to the manufacturing operation, or subsequent ownership arrangements. It also does not identify additional executives, subsidiaries, major contracts, expansion phases, financial results, or international operations. Røa Gjerdefabrikk is described as a manufacturing company based in Vestre Aker, Oslo, and its known market is Norway. Its continued association with the Woxen farm site and its shop suggests a business model combining production with direct customer access. Beyond these documented facts, the company's later development and present corporate structure require further verification.
