Is approaching billion limit
In 2024, Evelon had sales of NOK 188 million. After the merger with Upheads, they are investing heavily, and are nearing the billion limit.
-Through acquisitions and organic growth, Upheads in a few years have positioned themselves as a challenger to the traditional IT giants in the Norwegian market. The acquisition of Evelon represents the company’s largest investment so far and increases the Group’s total turnover to around NOK 900 million, the company writes.
The merger between Evelon and Upheads follows right after Upheads have established themselves in Kristiansand and Helsingborg.
Now the company has ambitions for further Nordic expansion, the company writes.
– This acquisition is a strategic step to strengthen our position as the leading alternative for small and medium -sized companies in both Norway and the Nordic countries, they write.
