International Gas Detectors (IGD) are today proud to announce our new partnership with Vestteknikk, Norway’s largest supplier of safety equipment. This partnership further extends IGD’s global distributor and partner network. This union enables IGD and Vestteknikk to promote and provide access to IGD’s leading addressable gas detection technology to the Norwegian market.
This strategic partnership will address and provide a solution for the availability of advanced addressable gas detection equipment in the region. The union demonstrates the growing trend in the industry for more intelligent and flexible gas monitoring equipment while reducing the cost for the end-user; something dated analog systems cannot provide.
Vestteknikk can now utilize IGD’s cutting edge addressable gas detection technology and leverage IGD’s expertise to provide its clients with market-leading technology and over 100 years of gas detection experience. This also enables IGD to build a wider audience and distributor network, providing access to our fixed gas detection technology on a more global scale.

One of the strengths of being an independent supplier is the ability to build relationships with the manufacturers who are leaders in technology in their fields. That way we can provide the best solutions for our customers in each product category. For that reason, we are looking forward to working closely with IGD on fixed gas detection for the onshore market. We strongly believe that the 2-Wire addressable gas detection system is the future within fixed gas detection.”
Geir Magne Årvik, CEO, Vestteknikk
Some of the key benefits of this new partnership include:
Market-leading 2-Wire Addressable gas detection equipment for the Norwegian market.
Local support from Vestteknikk in the Norwegian market. IGD has provided full training and demonstration equipment to enable Vestteknikk to provide full turnkey project support and aftersales services.
Providing Vestteknikk with an extensive and diverse range of gas detection equipment. Including fixed sensors for over 400 gases and vapors including our market-leading long-life sensor technology.
Providing the Norwegian market access to IoT enabled gas monitoring equipment
Change in Market for IoT Enabled Gas Detectors
In addition, this partnership further demonstrates the change in the market for addressable gas detection equipment over dated analog devices. Addressing the demand from users for more IoT [Internet of Things] capable fixed gas detection. IGD’s 2-Wire Addressable gas monitoring system is the perfect solution for addressing these needs. Utilizing IGD’s ground-breaking Sentinel+ technology, users can now leverage more information from the system via a range of apps. Users can now also integrate their gas detection into larger site-wide building management systems, cloud-based monitoring, remote monitoring systems, and email/text alerts, adding more flexibility for clients.

IGD’s technology makes use of both power and communication over the same capable pair with detectors interconnect via radial cable. This reduces cable costs by at least 70% compared to what is currently on the market for fixed equipment. Read our article here that discusses all the benefits of our ground-breaking technology.
We are delighted to be partnering with Vesteknikk for not just the promotion of our exciting innovative addressable gas detection systems but also their expertise in the safety industry. As a leading safety supplier and well-respected brand in Norway, they are the perfect fit for our global partner network. Our continued growth reflects the markets need for innovation. IGD is a global leader in both gas detection and innovative gas sensing technologies. As a company, we will be looking to further increase our presence in the gas detection market with the planned launch of further control & sensing technologies. The partnership with Vesteknikk is one piece of our support and promotion jigsaw ensuring that we now have representation from a strong mix of both specialist and broad-line partners. Thus fulfilling both the client’s needs and the requirement for more IoT enabled fixed gas detection systems.
