As partners, STAR and Premas will combine their expertise to enhance their maintenance systems and HSEQ solutions. They will maintain all existing product lines, ensuring continuity for customers, while pursuing long-term synergies to boost their overall value proposition. “Selling Premas was not an easy decision. It was crucial for us to find a new owner who recognized the company's full potential and was committed to building on the foundation we had already established. At the same time, it was important to us that the organization in Ålesund was preserved and maintained. Saga's insights and advice have been invaluable.
