Vow ASA ("Vow") subsidiary C.H. Evensen Industriovner AS ("C.H. Evensen"), a specialist in heat treatment solutions, has been awarded a large order for advanced technology to Uddeholm, a leading Swedish metals manufacturer. The contract has a value of ca. NOK 24 million and takes C.H. Evensen’s order backlog to a total of NOK 155 million.

The order is for converting four heat treatment furnaces from fossil gas operations to electric operations. The furnaces are used for heat treatment of various steel products. C.H. Evensen has previously delivered two similar electric furnaces to Uddeholm, in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Uddeholm is on an ambitious journey to fossil-free production and climate neutrality. By 2030 Uddeholm will have fossil-free production. C.H. Evensen furnaces play an important role in this.

“Our customers have become increasingly interested in making the shift from fossil energy sources to renewable electric power. We are offering flexible solutions, which offer the possibility of powering heat-intensive processes with sustainable energy,” said Henrik Wulff, managing director of C.H. Evensen.

C.H. Evensen develops, designs, and produces industrial furnaces and equipment for a variety of heat treatment processes and applications, including world leading technology for electric hot dip galvanising, an industrial process that protects metal from corrosion.

“With energy costs remaining high and a growing demand for decarbonisation, Vow’s state-of-the-art technology is seen as instrumental in improving cost efficiency. We are pleased to continue our close relationship with Uddeholm, and proud to be part of its ambitious journey to become climate neutral,” said Henrik Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.

The C.H. Evensen contract will be booked as order intake in the first quarter 2023 in Vow's Landbased segment.
