About Havfonn — Havfonn

What we do

Havfonn is a family-owned company. Values, experiences and knowledge are, together with the financials, accumulated over several generations. Havfonn’s purpose is to

“manage and create values for the benefit of future generations”

Our approach is value-based. To us, sustainability means more than just meeting certain obligations. We look at the entire chain and have continuous development as a goal. Our partners say about Havfonn that

“they are motivated to keep doing well – with a goal of always striving to be better”

As owners we are convinced that taking the long view, responsibility, and respect are the sustaining elements to develop competitive businesses. Havfonn shall contribute to creating lasting values for society also in the future.

Havfonn is an active owner who assists in plotting the right course. This is why we have few, but large commitments. Havfonn helps to assure that necessary resources – such as the proper balance of competence in finance, business development and ownership – give the company the greatest possible use of their potential. Havfonn provides favourable conditions for competitive companies.

Havfonn seeks investments in companies with international potential and lasting competitive advantages. To achieve the best results, we find strength in being close to our investments. A major quality of Havfonn is the understanding of the social, economic and political framework that the companies operate in. This is why we excel at being a skilful discussion partner who understands which risk factors that are the most relevant at the right time. Havfonn therefore desires commitments in companies with a Nordic connection – that are within “biking distance” – a relative, but profitable principle.

Havfonn is active, contributing real influence in companies they have interests in – knowledge, experience and trust

Who we are

Generations of the Bergesen family have been entrepreneurs, influencing their times in several ways. This is a story that we are proud of, and that we wish to continue through Havfonn AS. Havfonn was founded in 2003 by Morten Sigval Bergesen and its present owners are Morten Sigval Bergesen and his close family.

Havfonn is a family-run, private investment company with seven employees. We have high expectations to our own efforts and make clear demands when necessary. Mutual respect for, and trust in, our partners is very important. Our strongest motivation is to create lasting values, increase our knowledge and always strive to be better.
