Veidekke ASA is to build a production building for Kitron at Longum Park in Arendal. The agreement with AFK Eiendom, a wholly owned subsidiary of Arendals Fossekompani, is a design and build contract with a contract price of NOK 110 million excl. VAT.

The new building that will be 7,500 m[2] in size will meet Kitron's requirements to production facilities with associated administration and storage, and there will be around 70 office jobs and 220 jobs overall. Production consists mainly of the assembly and completion of electrical components, as well as the testing of these. Concrete work, carpentry, production and assembly of concrete elements in the project will be carried out by Veidekke's own skilled workers and apprentices and in collaboration with Veidekke Prefab.

Construction work will start in the autumn, with completion scheduled for the spring of 2026.
