Glastad Holding
Glastad Holding traces its roots to a family shipping business that operated from the early 1800s. Endre Tarald Glastad established the current holding company in 1995. The Mosvold–Glastad lineage supplies the capital that the office now manages across multiple generations. The firm divides operations among Glastad Farsund for real estate, Mosvolds Rederi for shipping and Glastad Capital for seafood and financial investments. Asset classes include direct real-estate holdings, private-equity positions and maritime assets. Confirmed holdings comprise the HEIMR Collection hotels, Radisson Blu Caledonien Hotel, Norwegian Outlet Vestby and Gismerøya Rig Port. The geographic footprint covers Norway and extends to selected opportunities in Asia and the rest of Europe. Investment structures encompass direct co-investments, SPVs and private-equity commitments. The office lists eight family principals and business partners on its governance roster. Additional offices sit in Farsund alongside the Oslo headquarters. Ingrid Ree Glastad participates in the Family Business Network. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. Glastad’s structure keeps investment decisions inside the family through board seats held by Endre Tarald Glastad, Sigrid Laugen and Kristina Glastad. This arrangement separates the shipping heritage from newer vehicles such as Glastad Capital while preserving multi-generational control over capital allocation.
