The History of Moelven Byggmodul AS
The origin of today's modern modular construction is the "Moelven-brakka." It was a rest barrack on wheels developed and delivered by Moelven Brug in the 1950s.
It started as a local delivery, and gradually the interest in the product increased among the major construction companies and forestry operators of the time who needed flexible and easily movable accommodation barracks. Over the years, the "Moelven-brakka" has been an important source of inspiration for the development of new concepts, and not least for modern modular construction.
Barracks have today become modules that are assembled into buildings that benefit from being built quickly and efficiently – whether they are to be permanent or moved.
The production method today is entirely different from when the "Moelven-brakka" saw the light of day, but it is still the people who are the most important resource at Moelven Byggmodul AS.
