Nobø

Nobø is a manufacturing company in Norway. It started as NOrsk BØttefabrikk (the Norwegian Bucket Factory) in Lade, Trondheim in 1918 - the name Nobø is a contraction of the original title. The factory originally produced only buckets, but later made several sheet iron products as well. It now manufactures desks, electric wall heaters and filing cabinets.[1] The company developed and a new factory was built in Stjørdal. Nobø then produced electric heating accessories only, which it is still doing today.[2]

In the 1990s the original Nobø factory was closed down and the area is now a housing estate of about 220 houses and flats, called Ingemann Torps Street or Nobø-tomta (Nobø-field). The area was planned by Heimdal Utbyggingsselskap and Pir II Architects.
