“Housing for Ukraine” is an initiative that brings together Norway’s construction industry and humanitarian efforts, with Moelven building modular homes to support those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. Partnering with key players like Fibo, known for its environmentally friendly and durable wall panels, the project aims to provide sturdy, prefabricated housing to address both urgent and long-term needs. The Norwegian government is actively supporting the project, with the Minister of Trade and Industry emphasizing its importance as a contribution to humanitarian efforts through Norwegian business engagement.

“Housing for Ukraine” can play a significant role, says the Minister of Trade and Industry

The Minister of Trade and Industry attended the project announcement, highlighting the vital role Norway’s construction industry plays in assisting Ukraine with sustainable and innovative solutions.

I look forward to following how Moelven and their partners will help Ukrainian families find new homes in some of the most devastated areas of Ukraine,

said Cecilie Myrseth, Minister for Trade and Industry

She further noted that the government is proud to support such collaboration, which not only provides immediate aid but also has lasting positive effects for those impacted.

Modular building for fast and flexible solutions

Moelven’s modular construction method enables rapid housing deployment while maintaining high quality. The modules are built in a factory setting for efficiency and quality control, reducing construction time and ensuring the homes are robust and well-built. Through their collaboration with Fibo, Moelven offers a comprehensive solution that combines sustainable building materials with easy installation, eliminating the need for specialized tilers. Fibo’s wall panels, which are 100% waterproof and highly durable, contribute to a quick setup, allowing families to move in and settle into their new homes without delay.

Fibo’s Country Manager for Norway: “An important and exciting opportunity”

Fibo’s Country Manager, Kristian Mikalsen, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership and the opportunity to contribute to humanitarian efforts:

For Fibo, this is an opportunity to show that our solutions are not only functional but can also make a tangible difference in people’s lives. We are proud to collaborate with Moelven on a project that supports people in challenging circumstances while showcasing how Norwegian construction expertise can make an impact on the international stage.

He added that Fibo sees this project as a key way to combine corporate responsibility with Fibo’s experience and quality, offering durable and practical solutions to those in need.

A humanitarian and sustainable effort with lasting impact

Fibo’s durable wall panels ensure the homes are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, providing residents with a sense of safety and dignity. The partnership between Moelven and Fibo extends far beyond immediate relief – it sets a new standard for how sustainable modular housing can be used to rebuild communities after crises.

This collaboration, supported by the Norwegian government, demonstrates how Norwegian companies and authorities can work together to offer innovative solutions to global challenges. The project shows that it is possible to combine innovation and humanity in the construction industry while placing people’s welfare and dignity at the center.
