sales were NOK 120 M and the EBITA result amounted to NOK 23 M. Joint was
established in 2001 and has today over 50 employees.

“The acquisition of Joint is a big step forward for Addnode Group’s development.
We have a strong offer of IT solutions for the design of products, facilities
and infrastructure as well as for product lifecycle management. Joint gives us
expertise and broadens Addnode Group’s offering with collaboration tools for the
management of projects, which we have sought,” says Staffan Hanstorp, President
