Steel & Wind Towers

Martifer Metallic Constructions is the metallic-structures arm of Portuguese industrial group Martifer, fabricating steel, aluminium and stainless-steel structures plus wind-energy and oil-and-gas components. Its named Nordic corridor reference is the manufacture and transport of metal components for the Grenland bridge in Norway, the new fixed link between Langangen and Rugtvedt.

Corridor footprint

Martifer Metallic Constructions is the heavy-fabrication arm of Portuguese group Martifer SGPS (Euronext Lisbon), based in Oliveira de Frades. The business specialises in large metallic structures — steel-frame buildings, bridge sections, aluminium and glass façades and stainless-steel solutions — and also fabricates components for wind energy and the oil-and-gas sector. The group’s engineering and fabrication capacity has historically supported international project delivery beyond Iberia, with documented projects across Europe, Africa and Latin America.

The clearest Nordic corridor reference for Martifer is the Grenland bridge in Norway, where Martifer Metallic Constructions has been involved in the manufacture and transport of metal components for the new fixed link connecting Langangen and Rugtvedt in the Vestfold og Telemark region. The Grenland scope demonstrates Martifer’s ability to deliver heavy steel into a complex Norwegian infrastructure programme — including logistics handling from Portuguese fabrication yards to a Norwegian construction site — positioning the company as a credible Iberian fabricator for future Scandinavian transport-infrastructure tenders.

Why this matters for the corridor

Norway and Sweden continue to commission major bridge and infrastructure programmes (Fehmarn Belt, future Atlantic-coast crossings, repowering wind sites), and Iberian steel-and-fabrication capacity remains structurally cheaper than Northern European alternatives. Martifer’s Grenland reference is the kind of named Scandinavian project portfolio that Nordic procurement teams require before shortlisting non-Nordic structural-steel suppliers.

Recent activity

Martifer continues to fabricate and transport metal components for Norway’s Grenland bridge programme. The group has not publicly disclosed a new Scandinavian award in the last 30 days but remains a verified Portuguese supplier into Norwegian infrastructure.
