Established in Oslo on March 7, 1941, Asbj. W. Christophersen & Co A/S (AWCO) is a privately held limited company with extensive experience within the maritime shipping sector.
Asbjørn Waldemar Christophersen and his partner founded the company as a dedicated shipbroking firm, building on the thriving industrial growth in the Oslofjord region at the time.
In 1979, Helge Gundersen took over as Owner and Managing Director upon Mr. Christophersen’s retirement, leading the company to new heights over the following decades.
Following the sudden passing of Helge Gundersen in 1996, his brother Terje Gundersen took on the responsibility of guiding the company forward, before Helge’s son and current CEO, Odd Helge Gundersen, took the reins after years of service within the firm.
AWCO brings broad industry experience and focuses on delivering end-to-end supply chain solutions tailored to each customer’s individual requirements.
AWCO’s primary focus is on industrial clients, with the goal of providing complete logistics solutions for all cargo interests. Operating without dual interests, AWCO is a strictly independent broker dedicated solely to its clients, ensuring transparent, conflict-free representation across every transaction.
For the individual transporting companies working in AWCO’s sphere of operations, this is also beneficial as they all have the same possibilities of securing business through the activities and operations managed by AWCO.
AWCO takes great pride in its expertise and continues to maintain an elevated level of competence through its highly dedicated personnel who emphasize diligence, knowledge and quality.
We always look forward, and welcome any interest to take part in our voyage into the future.
