Reledo Expands Its Presence in Norway with the Acquisition of Effektivt Renhold AS

Reledo strengthens its position in the Norwegian market through the acquisition of Effektivt Renhold AS. The acquisition expands Reledo’s service offering in Norway to include catering and food services, while further reinforcing its presence in the region.

Effektivt Renhold is a well-established, family-owned provider of professional cleaning and catering services, operating across western Norway. Over the past 20 years, the company has built strong, long-term relationships with commercial, public sector and private customers. The acquisition gives Reledo a strong foothold on Norway’s west coast and represents another important step in the group’s Nordic expansion.

The founding family will continue to lead the business, with Erik Bakke as CEO, Elin Lien Bakke as CFO and Irene Lien Bakke as COO, ensuring continuity for both customers and employees.

“Effektivt Renhold is an important addition to Reledo’s continued growth in Norway. The acquisition enables us to offer professional cleaning, catering and a broader range of facility management services to our Norwegian customers. The company’s strong local presence, commitment to sustainability and long-standing customer relationships align perfectly with our strategy of building a group driven by entrepreneurship and customer focus,” says Jonas Warnander, Group CEO of Reledo.
“Becoming part of Reledo is an exciting step for us. We are confident that this partnership will benefit both our customers and our employees. We will continue to be a strong local business while gaining the opportunity to grow nationally alongside the other companies within the Reledo Group,” says Erik Bakke, CEO of Effektivt Renhold AS.
