The LYNG GROUP history dates back more than 60 years, when founder Bjørn Lyng expanded his smithy to an iron foundery in Vanvikan Norway, making the first electricity in the area from a waterfall.

His long line of successful businesses include more than 25 different companies still operating today.

The legacy has been continued by his son Ragnar Lyng, Chairman and main Shareholder since 1988.
