Norwegian entity to operate independently under Managing Director Espen Jacobsen – partnership between companies to continue

Solita and Solita AS have agreed on a management buyout that transfers ownership of Solita’s Norwegian operations to local management. The transition, effective 1 July, will see Solita AS operate as the independent company Axiom, led by Managing Director Espen Jacobsen.

The company, employing 8 professionals in Oslo, will continue its focus on digital transformation, data, and cloud services for Norwegian clients, while also expanding its management consulting services for industrial clients and other asset-heavy industries.

Solita and Axiom will maintain a close partnership. The companies will continue to collaborate on cross-border projects and share knowledge across the Nordic region, leveraging their combined capabilities to benefit clients in both markets.

“This is a natural step that enables both organisations to pursue their strategic priorities more effectively,” says Ossi Lindroos, CEO of Solita. “We’re proud of what we’ve built together in Norway, and we’re confident that Espen and the team will thrive as an independent business. Our partnership will continue, ensuring our clients benefit from our combined Nordic expertise.”

“Taking ownership represents an exciting opportunity for our team,” says Espen Jacobsen, Managing Director. “We have built a strong foundation in the Norwegian market, and this next step gives us greater flexibility to further develop our services and strengthen our position as a trusted partner to our clients. In addition to our established capabilities, we see significant opportunities to expand through management consulting and industry-focused advisory services. We also look forward to continuing our collaboration with Solita as a valued partner.”

Solita entered the Norwegian market in 2023. The team has built a reputation for delivering data-driven solutions and cloud expertise to Norwegian organisations, serving customers such as Laerdal and Kongsberg.
