DEAR ALL

Here we are again, a new year has passed, and the Christmas peace will soon descend in many hundreds of MOMEK homes. Manyof our employees also have to work during Christmas. This has always been the case at MOMEK, we often work when the factories stop and the others go home.

New projects have been won and completed, some also lost. But new goals are in sight and the MOMEK ship sails with good wind and a steady course towards an exciting 2022. And let me just say it right away, we have a lot of exciting opportunities ahead of us!

After a calm start to 2021 as a result of a pandemic, we experienced an ever-increasing number of assignments throughout the spring. And since May, we have been busy maneuvering from project to project, maintenance shutdowns and ongoing assignments.

During the spring we also performed a significant change to our organization. We merged 4 of our companies and have thus created a new operating platform where resources and expertise can be mobilized seamlessly to our customers. We are getting closer and closer to the goal of being one MOMEK family, where everyone works for a common cause and common goals. The complexity of the projects is increasing, demands and expectations from ourselves, our customers and the surroundings are high, and they should be! That is what drives us forward!

This year we have a special focus on sustainability: How MOMEK can be a positive force in the work of taking care of the environment and people. And there is much more we can do: Clean energy in cars, reduce transport, lower energy consumption, better waste sorting, use green certified products in our production, and develop good future-oriented products for the industry, to name a few. In 2022, we will be certified not only within new production- and quality standards, but also the environmental standard ISO-14001.

The social highlight this year was MOMEK Action Week at the end of July. An event with activities and concerts for adults and children. We were at ACR, Rabothytta, Vitensenteret, Klatreparken, Havblikk and Lurøyfjellet. The events were carried out in a good pandemic spirit, we got all kinds of weather, but always with a good mood and attitude. We hope for a 2022 where we can be more together, travel together, be closer, and meet physically without restrictions or fear. But right now we do not know what next year will bring, only that we will adapt when we have to, and find solutions as we have done so far.

We all experience that there are tough periods from time to time. But above all, I think we are so incredibly lucky! Lucky that we have good and safe jobs in a time where many are struggling. We live in a part of the world where people have the highest life quality. Our businesses are placed in regions where there are skilled and motivated people that work hard to create growth, new sustainable businesses, and opportunities for us all. And we work in MOMEK, a company where the focus is to create: Create good jobs, new jobs, new experiences, new knowledge and new friendships.

We are MOMEK, we are lucky and we are ready for 2022!

With this, I wish all MOMEKs, MOMEK families and friends of MOMEK a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

2021 – THE YEAR OF MOMEK

The year started a little slow, but escalated substantially on hourly assignments and larger projects.

MOMEK Civil landed one contract after another, and has buildt an order backlog for 2021 and 2022. They have worked closely with Hæhre at Smisto, built a pilot factory for FREYR, expanded the hotel at Lovund, concrete jobs at Elkem Rana and several construction projects locally.

In Q2, MOMEK Techteam and MOMEK Oilfield merged into MOMEK Services, which provides good synergies and immediate effect.

Together, we have carried out several audit shutdowns and major projects at Rana Kraft, Celsa, Finnfjord Smelter as well as maintenance on cranes for Equinor, just to name a few. This would not have been possible without the interdisciplinary expertise where, among other things, engineering and electric/automation have played a central role.

Momin, our company in Sweden, has very good and stable operations as well as long-term contracts with Boliden and LKAB. They have now won a new and strategically important contract of 3 + 2 years with Boliden Rønnskjær, which in turn means that we establish a department in Skellefteå.

On the basis of good deliveries over several years, we have also gained renewed confidence at Alcoa with a new 5-year contract for oven base replacement.

In 2021, our department at Melbu has set a sales record for pump sales, in addition to hiring several new employees.

MOMEK Personnel has delivered well despite major challenges related to Covid. They have invested in and hired several key people who work purposefully with fishfarming and rock protection. They have also hired an administrative resource in Romania for even better quality assurance of personnel before they are sent on assignment.

MOMEK PT Modular works with several leads, and it will be very exciting to see which projects are landed.

During the first quarter of 2022, we will install a 24 meter long robotic welding cell at the workshop in Mo i Rana. The cell is versatile and can be adapted to both individual products and series production of anchors for the new company MOMEK Løvold. The cell will also replace the current mantle robot.

We have received a lot of good feedback on the work done by our customers – who have already ordered MOMEK to next year’s audit stops to secure qualified personnel.

The year 2021 seems to be the year of MOMEK, and 2022 also looks very promising 😉
