Acquired by Sapeg and Lyng Group, marking a new chapter as an independent company with renewed focus on Oil & Gas and opportunities across new industries
Sapeg and Lyng Group have joined forces to take ownership of Lyng Drilling.
The new ownership creates opportunities for closer cooperation between Lyng Drilling and Sapeg, whose complementary capabilities and activities within both the aluminium and oil & gas industry strengthen the group’s overall offering
For Lyng Drilling, the acquisition also marks a new commercial chapter. While the company will continue its existing relationship with SLB, it is now opening its capabilities to a broader customer base and new opportunities in Oil & Gas. This includes bringing a wider range of products, services and engineering expertise to the market, while exploring opportunities in new industries and applications.
SAPEG specialises in tungsten carbide, wear-resistant solutions and customer-specific components. Combined with Lyng Drilling’s expertise in cutting technology, drilling, engineering and manufacturing, this creates complementary capabilities and new opportunities across industries.

Lyng Drilling aims to build on its technical experience while developing new products, services and applications for the future.
The company is focused on creating value through quality, technical competence, close customer relationships and continuous development.
Engineering and manufacturing have been closely connected at Lyng Drilling since the company was established. Our engineers and production teams work side by side in Vanvikan, combining design and technical development with practical manufacturing experience.
This way of working is an integral part of how Lyng Drilling develops and produces its products and solutions.
Lyng Drilling is a team of experienced specialists, engineers and manufacturing professionals.
Many employees have been with the company for decades, bringing extensive practical knowledge and technical experience. At the same time, new people and new perspectives are strengthening the organisation.
