Description
I. P. Huse AS is located on the island of Harøy (Norway). The company has approximately 130 employees. It is the world leader in designing and manufacturing large winches for anchor handling vessels (AHTS). According to the project manager Håkon Heieraas, the company has moved production back to Norway from Ukraine, Poland, Russia, and the Czech Republic. Almost everything is moved back home, including the production of winches with densities between 30 and 100 tonnes. I.P. Huse has made large investments in production facilities in Norway, to increase its production capacity. With mechanization and robotics, the company had the opportunity to obtain benefits in terms of economy, quality and lead time.
