Based in Kristiansand, Norway, Origo Solutions AS is an industrial technology company specializing in safety, automation, and data management systems. The company functions as a comprehensive system integrator and engineering partner, primarily serving the offshore energy, marine, and renewable sectors. With additional offices in Stavanger and Arendal, the firm provides critical infrastructure monitoring and control technologies designed to ensure the safety and efficiency of complex industrial operations in harsh maritime environments.
The company’s operational history spans several decades, tracing its roots back to the establishment of Moland Automation in 1978. Over the years, the entity evolved through various mergers and acquisitions, significantly operating under the name Bjørge Safety Systems before being established as Origo Solutions in 2011. For a period, it operated within the Moreld Group, a Norwegian industrial conglomerate. In early 2024, the company was acquired by the HIMA Group, a global provider of safety-related automation solutions. Following this acquisition, Origo Solutions became the regional headquarters for its parent company in Scandinavia, overseeing sales and service operations across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark while retaining its distinct operational identity.
In the maritime and offshore domains, Origo Solutions designs and deploys safety and automation systems (SAS) that protect personnel, assets, and the environment. Their engineering teams deliver turn-key projects involving fire and gas detection, emergency shutdown systems, and process control. A significant portion of their work involves upgrading and maintaining safety-critical electronics on offshore installations, ensuring compliance with rigorous North Sea standards. The company has executed substantial framework agreements with major energy operators, such as Equinor, to maintain and modernize safety systems on continental shelf assets.
Beyond traditional oil and gas, the company has expanded its footprint in the offshore wind sector. It provides Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that allow operators to monitor and control wind farm assets remotely. This capability bridges the gap between operational technology and information technology, enabling data-driven decision-making for marine energy production. The firm also supplies High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) and wireless gas detection solutions, further supporting the technical integrity of subsea and topside maritime infrastructure.
