WOPAS

WOPAS AS is an international start-up established in 2016 based in Ål, Hallingdal, Norway. WOPAS focuses on the opportunities provided by combining the material properties of wood and polyethylene into Wood Plastic Systems. This results in products that are exceptionally climate- and environmentally-friendly with long-term durability.

The primary market consists of infrastructure products, poles, and piles for power transmission, lighting, railways, and constructions within agriculture and marine sectors. Over time, additional applications have emerged, such as pole houses, glulam beams using the WOPAS concept, and other building components.

WOPAS AS's parent company, Hallingplast AS, is a family-owned business founded in 1969 and is run by the second and third generations of the Tragethon family. Hallingplast AS has a strong reputation in the market and generates a turnover of around NOK 750 million.
