Nord-Engineering

The history of Nord-Engineering extends all the way back to 1970. Over the decades we have executed numerous projects and created a large customer base around the Nordics.

In December 2014 it was time for a new chapter in the company’s history. Our robust engineering experience of harbor projects found a new home when the Nord-Engineering team moved to the Turku-based consulting engineers Aalto-Setälä. In March 2016 Aalto-Setälä registered Nord-Engineering as an auxiliary company name, and today we reinforce one another’s know-how.
