Double-Rubb Buildings Create Wartsila Storage Facility in Bomlo

Wartsila Norway AS, the Norwegian-division of The Wartsila Group, recently ordered two Rubb buildings (or Rubb halls, as they are still commonly called in Norway) for the storage of gears and other engine parts. Since their first purchase of a Rubb building in the 1970s, Wärtsila Norway has been a loyal Rubb customer and relies on our buildings for secure and reliable storage in the harsh climate of Norway. Wartsila is conveniently based in Rubbestadneset, Bømlo, the home town of Rubb (and Rubb Marine).

Both buildings are Rubb NV-type (Norwegian Version), 20m x 30m x4m (WxLx wall H). They have have double (innerskin) PVC layers and use automatically operated Crawford doors to make it easy for lift equipment and personnel to come and go. While the first building was delivered in 2006, the second joined it this past January, expanding the storage facilities significantly.

Wartsila Norway is a leader in the ship-repair market, and one of Europe’s largest manufacturer and supplier of large ship marine gears. Their parent company, The Wartsila Group (based in Finland), is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of marine diesel engines world wide for heavy vessels, as well as a specialist in providing power solutions to remote areas of the world.
