Abstract

When Orkla purchased Elkem in 2005, one of Norway’s five largest companies bought one of Norway’s twenty largest.2 A Norwegian company with a strong footing in Sweden bought another Norwegian company with an equally strong Swedish footing, but there the similarity ends. Orkla, a conglomerate with strong sales in food and branded consumer goods that prided itself on being “a moderately diversified company”, bought an outright metallurgical company and thus became even more diversified.
