Hallgruppen looking to grow its foothold on UK market

Hallgruppen, a leading provider of custom and standard sports buildings, is undertaking a strategic expansion into the UK market. The Norway-based company delivers both temporary and permanent structures that meet the diverse needs of athletes and sports enthusiasts.

Among its innovations is an adapted sports building solution for outdoor padle tennis courts, which it has rolled out in Denmark. The specially-designed cover is designed to make the courts accessible year-round, regardless of weather conditions. The structures are characterised by 9m high legs to ensure conformity to the industry standard required for a padel facility.

It also built a 74-meter-wide football pitch in Iceland, an environment known for its harsh environment and weather conditions – which include frequent storms and earthquakes. Completed in 2018, the robust structure has withstood the challenges, underpinning Hallgruppen’s focus on safety and long-term performance.

According to Lars Dalgaard, Hallgruppen CEO, the company has now recognised “a significant market opportunity in the UK”.

“Our research indicates a growing demand for affordable sports facilities in the UK, Dalgaard says. “We are excited to introduce our solutions that combine quality with quick construction times, offering a viable alternative to traditional building methods.

“Since establishing our office in the UK in 2022, we have seen how our innovative approach makes us a strong competitor. The presence of robust competition is vital, as it drives us to continuously improve and innovate.

The UK office is one of Hallgruppen’s 19 locations, which include Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Baltics and Germany. The company has provided its solutions to more than 80 countries.
