The predecessor company BARTEC Technor AS and formerly Technor AS was established in 1983 in Stavanger, Norway, and is a recognized manufacturer of equipment and systems for use in hazardous areas. BARTEC is trusted by many of the world's foremost companies as a preferred supplier of equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres. BARTEC's main clients are Contractors, System Integrators, Oil Companies and OEMs. BARTEC AS focuses on developing innovative and technologically advanced solutions to the challenges our customers are facing by combining expertise in electronic engineering with 40 years' experience at the forefront of Hazardous Area protection concepts. We develop and manufacture products and systems which make it possible to safely use instruments, lights, motors and other equipment requiring electric power in potentially explosive atmospheres. These might be offshore oil installations, refineries, petrochemical plants, ships or FPSOs, or in other industries in which dust explosion might represent a hazard, such as foodstuffs manufacture or grain silo. The products we develop must satisfy the requirements of the joint European standards (ATEX regulations), and each individual component and the systems we build must be certified in accordance with specific Ex certification requirements. The products we develop are technologically advanced, and we base our strategies on a combination of new technology and appropriate competence in order to develop functional, safe and cost effective solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.
