Who we are
Geminor is a leading European company in waste management. Family-owned and founded in 2004 on the island of Karmøy off Norway’s west coast, we have grown from a local initiative into a pan-European group handling over 2.4 million tonnes of waste annually. We deliver high-quality, market-driven solutions that help waste producers and off-takers maximise resource value while meeting strict regulatory demands.
Established across Europe with a strong local presence and a connected international team.
Scandinavian roots, global impact
Geminor started with one man and a simple idea: that waste could be managed smarter. In 2004, Kjetil Vikingstad founded the company on the island of Karmøy, off Norway’s rugged west coast. What began as a local operation has grown into a European group built on Nordic principles, combining long term thinking, transparency and precision to create scalable solutions across Europe. Today, we connect waste producers and offtakers with systems that deliver real results in a complex market.
Trusted by public and private partners
We work with municipalities, industrial clients, and international offtakers that depend on reliable waste management and recovery. Our customers choose us for our transparency, capacity, and ability to navigate complex regulations. Whether it’s a public tender or a long-term fuel contract, we deliver measurable results and predictable outcomes.
