Oslo-listed international consultancy group ABL Group ASA will be renamed Aqualis ASA. The group’s subsidiaries deliver marine, energy, engineering, and technical services to the renewables, maritime, and oil and gas industries.
Aqualis ASA
Hege Norheim, CEO of Aqualis
The background for the proposal is to eliminate confusion among clients, employees, and investors arising from the current dual use of "ABL" as the name of both the listed group entity and the group’s energy and marine consultancy, ABL.
“Our value for clients and colleagues is delivered through our specialist brands,” said Hege Norheim, CEO of Aqualis. “Through this step we will bring more clarity, visibility and autonomy to those brands, enabling them to grow further in their own right, while reinvesting success into new strategically aligned opportunities, to support our clients, and to create exciting career pathways for our people.”
The Aqualis group consists of the following four operating brands:
- Energy and marine consultancy ABL
- Energy and software consultancy AGR
- Renewable energy consultancy OWC
- Design and engineering consultancy Longitude
The Aqualis name derives from the original Aqualis Offshore, which was founded in 2012 and subsequently listed on Oslo Stock Exchange in 2014.
