Oslo, August 21, 2024 - As one of the first companies in the country, 7Sense is proud to qualify for the use of the official origin mark Made in Norway.

As one of the first companies in the country, 7Sense Agritech AS has qualified to use the official origin mark Made in Norway. With this, 7Sense demonstrates that they meet several criteria related to Norwegian value creation and origin, which could strengthen their position for further growth in both the national and international markets.

The official origin mark is a request from the business community itself, and the criteria for qualification include that the product or solution is primarily developed or produced in Norway. The aim of such a mark is to allow consumers to quickly and easily navigate among products and services that reinforce and support Norwegian value creation.

7Sense Agritech AS, specializing in technology for agriculture, is proud to be among the first Norwegian companies to use the Made in Norway mark in its marketing.

"We sell products to farmers all over the world, and we know that they value quality. With the new origin mark, we gain a clear position and definitive proof of this. We are excited to use the mark – and to promote Norwegian quality," says CEO Max J. Tangen.
