The story in numbers
Products that outlast the facilities they're built into
Today, the majority of our deliveries go to projects with a strong focus on sustainable energy use, and we work continuously to provide the best products to customers who expect short payback periods and smart, energy-efficient solutions for their facilities.
We have a long track record of successful deliveries to both land-based and marine installations across the globe. PARAT is known for quality and reliability, and in many cases our products have proven to outlast the vessel or facility they were originally installed and commissioned in.
Four business areas
A multicultural and dynamic work environment
We believe that diversity brings both wellbeing and good results. PARAT has a great diversity in the workplace, with employees from the region as well as employees with international backgrounds. We believe that employees who thrive stay with the company.
With an active working environment committee, we invest in social activities and gatherings, have our own company sports club, and offer Norwegian language courses. PARAT also supports children's and youth activities in the region.
From Lister to the world
From this quay, boilers and heating systems are shipped to customers all over the world – delivered by a company with roots in the district dating back to 1842.
