Overview

Glastad describes itself as a privately owned investment company rooted in shipping since the early 1800s, with head offices in Farsund and Oslo. It is organised in three subsidiaries: Glastad Eiendom (hotels, residential and commercial property, about 150,000 sqm), Mosvolds Rederi (shipping) and Glastad Capital (financial services, biomarine and other investments). Its history page traces the business to the Mosvold group, which was split among family branches including Glastad, and says investments are mainly allocated along the southern Norwegian coast.
