At the foot of one of the world's longest mountain ranges, Bussbygg produces all components for every loading requirement.
Geiranger Fjord is one of Norway's foremost tourist attractions. Offering breathtaking views, it attracts thousands of tourists and passengers on cruise ships from all over the world each year. Less well known is that the surrounding coast is full of successful companies. Most of them are naturally involved with fishing and shipbuilding, but there are also companies that make furniture and truck bodies.
The limited company Bussbygg A/S is located north of Geiranger and has been in business since 1947. Initially, the company built busses, but over time its business increasingly shifted to truck bodies and trailers. The last bus was delivered by the company in the 1970s, after which the company focused entirely on truck bodies. Fish transport, which has always been big business in Norway, demanded special solutions.
"Above all, flexibility in loading was required. In Finnmark, for example, a driver might have to drive 500 kilometers to various small harbours to fill the truck before heading off to Oslo or down to Europe," says Marketing Manager Roar Berg.
Bussbygg A/S delivered the solutions and became somewhat of a preferred supplier to the industry. Its bodies could be opened both from the sides and the back. Today, with 170 employees, the company is number one in the Norwegian market for truck bodies.
"We are the only supplier that builds all the components ourselves, right from scratch, in our production plant," says Roar Berg.
The focus on delivery precision, and above all quality, means repeat business. Because the company also builds everything itself, it can offer flexible body solutions exactly matched to customer requirements.
Since tail lifts are a feature requested by many customers, Bussbygg has become Norway's largest purchaser of ZEPRO tail lifts.
ZEPRO tail lift ensures secure load handling also in humid and harsh conditions because it has been tested to work well in different climate conditions.
Hiab delivers more than 200 tail lifts to Bussbygg A/S in Norway every year. In addition to meeting Bussbygg's quality specifications, spare parts for these tail lifts can be obtained easily and quickly all over Norway.
