Our Company History

This Is How the Adventure Started

From a young, Norwegian man's small import business in 1901 to Bertel O. Steen Holding - a major, Scandinavian concern with a turnover of 23 billion NOK and 3.000 employees. This is our history spanning more than 120 years.

    Bertel Otto Steen was 25 years old when he started importing iron, steel, galoshes, bakelite telephones and razors from the US to Norway. Having sold three Cadillacs in 1903, he founded what became one of the Nordic region's largest players in sales and service services for cars, vans, trucks and buses.

It focuses on issues such as human right, labor rights, environmental protection, health and safety, diversity, equal opportunity and prevention of illegal behavior, anti-bribery and corruption. One framework that plays a particularly important role in guiding our approach to business ethics is the Norwegian Transparency Act, which was enacted by the Norwegian Parliament on June 10, 2022. The Transparency Act establishes requirements for certain Norwegian businesses—including ours—to report on fundamental human rights and working conditions. The Transparency Act also requires that companies like ours regularly publish assessments of what we are doing to comply with the Transparency Act and achieve its aims.
