The Norwegian branch, GLOBALKILN - REFRACTORY COMPANY, S.A. (NUF, org. no. 931821067), entered the Brønnøysund register on 23 August 2023 with a stated purpose of demolition, installation, repair and maintenance of industrial furnaces and burners, classified under repair and maintenance of machinery (NACE 33.120). It was entered in the Norwegian VAT register on 8 August 2025 and receives post c/o the Bergen law firm Advokatfirmaet Magnus Legal AS. Sweden appears on the company’s own list of countries where it works, alongside Spain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland, Croatia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and St Barthélemy. The Lourinhã office on Globalkiln’s website, in the Edifício Matias on Praça D. Lourenço Vicente, is the same building that Poweref, another Portuguese refractory contractor, gives as its business address in the Norwegian register, and the two Norwegian branches use the same Bergen c/o address.
Kilns, furnaces and boilers in heavy industry need their refractory linings demolished and rebuilt by specialist crews, and several Portuguese contractors sell that work abroad. Globalkiln is one of three Portuguese refractory contractors, with Poweref (2024) and Lizmontagens (2017), that NorthSouth HQ has found registered as foreign businesses in Norway — a small, skilled-labour export into Nordic process industry.
