About Surfact

Built by people who care about the journey.

We're a veteran-founded Norwegian team building cold-chain monitoring tough enough for the world's most demanding cargo, and a company we genuinely love coming to work for.

From the frontline to the cold chain.

Surfact wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born in Afghanistan. While serving in the Norwegian Armed Forces, co-founder Per Magne Helseth, watched medicine, food and equipment spoil in the heat.

People depended on cargo nobody could actually see. That's why we build hardware that keeps working, data you can trust, and people who pick up when it matters.

"Mission first. Every shipment matters."

How we work

We build the company together, then go skiing.

We hire generalists with depth, give them real ownership, and trust them to make decisions. The work is serious, with pharma, food, lives and livelihoods at stake, but the way we do it is grounded, honest and unmistakably Norwegian.

No. 01

Mission first

We'd rather it work at −25°C than look good in a demo.

No. 02

Nordic by nature

We test in fjords, on glaciers and in reefer trailers. If it survives a Norwegian winter, it survives your supply chain.

No. 03

Outdoors, always

Weekends in the mountains keep the team grounded and the thinking clear.

No. 04

Built together

Flat and direct. The best idea wins, whoever it comes from.

The team

A Norwegian team, with global reach.

We are now a growing team scaling cold-chain technology across Europe and North America, with engineers, developers, operators and field experts pulling in the same direction.

Nordic by nature

We'd rather be outside, and it shows in the work.

We're Norwegian, and the mountains are a short drive from the desk. We take that seriously: a team that gets out thinks clearer and argues better. The coastline many of us grew up on is the same one our sensors help protect. That's not a tagline, it's why this particular team cares about this particular problem.
