IKM Inspection is one of Norway’s leading providers of inspection and quality control services to the offshore, maritime and onshore industries. With solid professional expertise, modern technology and high execution capability, the company delivers services that contribute to increased safety, quality and operational reliability for customers across the country.
The company’s history dates back to the establishment of Rogaland Material Inspeksjon AS in 1987. Over several decades, the company has developed in line with the industry and built extensive expertise in inspection, materials technology and technical control. In 2008, the company became part of Applus Group SA, before management executed a management buyout in 2020 and became Sigma Inspection. The following year, Sigma Inspection was acquired by IKM Group, which continued to invest and strengthened its market position.
In 2023, IKM Inspection, Sigma Inspection and IKM Technology Inspection were merged into one company under IKM Inspection AS. The merger marked an important milestone and established the company as Norway’s largest and most competent environment within NDT and metallurgical field services.
Today, the business consists of over 170 highly qualified employees with broad experience and a comprehensive number of certifications across various inspection disciplines. Our staff combine technical expertise with modern methods and technology to ensure effective and reliable deliveries to our customers.
IKM Inspection has operational departments in Stavanger, Bergen, Arendal, Grenland, Østfold and Larvik, all with modern testing and inspection facilities. The headquarters is located at Forus in Stavanger – right in the heart of Norwegian energy and industrial activity.
