Aker Solutions
Aker Solutions ASA is a Norwegian engineering firm headquartered in Oslo. The firm's production is focused on energy infrastructure, including systems and services required to de-carbonize oil and gas production, build wind-to-grid infrastructure and engineer CO2 capture and sequestration.[citation needed]
Founded in 1841 as Akers Mekaniske Verksted, the company has been known as Aker, Aker Kvaerner and Aker Solutions (2008). Aker Kværner was founded in 2004 from the major restructuring of a complex "Aker Kværner" business unit formed in 2002 by the merger of Aker Maritime and Kværner Oil & Gas. The company was majority controlled by Aker ASA until 2007. Then, via major ownership restructuring on 22 June 2007, Aker ASA gave up its holding in Aker Solutions and transferred a 40% stake to Aker Holding, which in turn was owned by Aker ASA (60%), the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry (30%), SAAB (7.5%) and Investor AB (2.5%). On 3 April 2008, Aker Kværner was renamed Aker Solutions.
In 2020, the company merged with Kværner ASA. As of 2023, the company trades on the Oslo stock exchange under the symbol 'AKSO'.
Aker Solutions derives from a series of start-ups and mergers of Norwegian companies across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
In 1841, Aker established its first workshop along the Aker river in Oslo, called Aker Mechanical Workshop (Aker Mekaniske Verksted).
Kværner Brug was founded in Oslo in 1853. In 1943, Kværner Brug and partner Myrens Verksted jointly acquired a majority shareholding in Thunes Mekaniske Verksted.
Joint holding company Kværner Industries AS was established in December 1967, listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Kværner Group entered the offshore oil and gas market from its base in Oslo, and Kværner Engineering, an engineering and contracting company, was set-up in the late 1960s.
In 1993, construction work began at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp through jointly owned subsidiary, Kværner Process Services Inc. (KPSI), initiating a business partnership with the US Department of Defense that lasted until 2006.
