Hamang Papirfabrik

The firm's wealth originates from the Hamang Papirfabrik paper mill, an industrial enterprise founded by Sam Eyde, the Norwegian engineer and entrepreneur who also co-founded Norsk Hydro. The Eyde family descendants remain involved, and the firm now operates as a corporate investor deploying capital generated from the transformation of the original industrial property holdings in Sandvika, Norway (per the firm's public registrations).

Kristin Meyer serves as CEO of AS Hamang Papirfabrik, leading the firm's operations and investment activities. The board includes Christian Berg, former CEO of Hafslund, and Gunnar Gjørtz, former CFO of Hafslund, both of whom bring energy-sector and infrastructure investment experience to the family's governance.

The firm operates across two distinct tracks: direct real estate development — primarily the large-scale redevelopment of its original Sandvika industrial site into commercial and mixed-use properties — and venture capital investments linked to the Norwegian Venture Capital Association. The real estate holdings include Hamang Næringssenter, Hamang Kontorsenter, and Hamangskogen 60.

Yes. Oslo Pensjonsforsikring AS, one of Norway's municipal pension insurers, has shared board connections and co-investment relationships with Hamang Papirfabrik. This suggests the firm participates in network-driven co-investment opportunities within the Norwegian market, though specific deal details remain private.

Legally, it operates as a corporate investor — a holding company with subsidiaries tied to specific real estate assets and venture activities. Functionally, it serves as a single-family office for the Eyde family descendants, deploying industrial heritage wealth through a corporate structure rather than a traditional family-office partnership model.
