Elektro4 is a local electrical contractor with a long and proud tradition. They have their headquarters in Skien and employ a total of 140 people across locations in Telemark and Vestfold. Over many years in the industry, they have established themselves as a solid center of expertise with a heart for both small and large customers. Their success is attributed to a good mix of knowledge and enthusiasm among their extremely skilled employees, believes Andreas V. Sterner, Marketing Manager\/Purchasing at Elektro4.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to be a locally-owned company with many skilled installers, electricians, and engineers. With us, you\u2019ll meet friendly and competent people who make customers feel well taken care of,\u201d he explains, and continues: \u201cBecause we are fortunate to have so much expertise in-house, we are organized like many small businesses within one company.

Forward-Looking Security <\/h3>\n\n

The goal is for all customers, whether private individuals or businesses, to walk away with a sense of forward-looking security when they collaborate with Elektro4. \u201cIt should be both pleasant and safe to work with us and for us,\u201d emphasizes Sterner.<\/p>\n\n

As part of this forward-thinking approach, the company has recently increased its focus on the low-voltage segment. Low-voltage systems include all types of security systems, alarms, access control, emergency lighting\/fire safety, fire control panels, and camera surveillance. \u201cWe are seeing significant demand and interest from customers in this area, and we are pleased to have secured several large framework agreements and many new and regular customers,\u201d says Sterner.<\/p>\n\n

On the hunt for more people<\/h3>\n\n

Currently, the low-voltage department consists of around 30 employees responsible for the installation, operation, and inspection of systems. \u201cThe regulations we have to follow are complex, so we have several experts who can ease the daily workload and ensure our customers feel secure on an ongoing basis,\u201d explains Espen Melby, who leads the department.<\/p>\n\n

With the focus on low-voltage systems, several new and significant framework agreements, and a generally high demand in the market, Elektro4 is always on the lookout for skilled individuals to join the team. \u201cWe bring in apprentices who often stay with us, but we are continually searching for talented and experienced installers, that much I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Aleksander Bjerke Hagen, a low-voltage installer at Elektro4, is very happy in his job. \u201cThe best thing about Elektro4 is all the great people. Both among the installers and in the office. We have varied workdays and get to work with the best systems and products in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Noticing the Google Effect<\/h3>\n\n

Like several other local businesses, Elektro4 has also felt the positive ripple effects of Google\u2019s arrival in Telemark. The work on the data center north of Skien is well underway, and the electrical contractor has certainly taken notice. \u201cWe are experiencing positivity and ripple effects related to the activities at Gromstul, and we are excited about what\u2019s to come,\u201d says Sterner.<\/p>\n\n
