Exail Opens New Office in Norway

Eying growth in the Scandinavian region, Exail announced the opening of a new business office in Norway. Located in the Oslo area, this new office is led by Lars Sorfang, who is acting as general manager for Exail AS, as well as regional sales manager for Scandinavia.

A former officer for the Norwegian military, Sorfang previously held various business development positions at Kongsberg working on strategic defense programs, and Teledyne Flir, where he was sales director for the European region.

“I am very proud to be part of this new adventure with Exail, as I am deeply convinced, as a previous user of the technologies the company develops, that they are the right fit for the region that requires highly innovative and high-end products.” Sorfang explained. “With this new office, we will be able to provide increased support to our growing base of customers in Norway, and more generally, Scandinavia.”

Exail noted it has won major contracts in the region over the past years, both in the civil and defense markets. This includes the sale of inertial navigation systems for Norway’s U212 submarines and Coast Guard vessels, Finland’s Multi-role corvettes, as well as Sweden A19 and A26 submarines. Exail also has partnerships with civilian Scandinavian companies such as Teledyne Gavia, Nortek and RTS.
