SANDEFJORD - In the summer of 2024, entrepreneur Odd André made a notable comeback in the e-commerce industry after acquiring Enklere Kontor AS. The acquisition marks a return to his roots for Odd André, who around 20 years ago ran his own online store for electronics and home appliances. His longing for this sector, combined with a belief in new opportunities in a rapidly evolving market, was behind the decision to take over the company.
"It's incredibly exciting to be back in the industry," says Odd André. "The technology has developed enormously since last time, and I look forward to bringing unique and innovative products to the market. I think the timing is perfect for offering solutions that can genuinely simplify the working day for most people."
New opportunities in a changing market
Odd André sees significant potential in today's market, characterised by greater flexibility in working life and an ever-growing need for effective solutions for home offices and mobile workplaces. He believes Enklere Kontor AS is well positioned to meet these needs with a focus on innovative specialised products.
"The product categories are at their core the same as before, but the way we work and live has changed radically," Odd André explains. "The technology gives us the opportunity to offer products that are not only smart, but that also solve concrete challenges in people's everyday lives."
The company has already taken steps to differentiate itself in the market, including through direct import of specialised products from factories. This is intended to give Enklere Kontor AS a unique product portfolio and a competitive advantage.

Innovative products for a flexible way of working
Enklere Kontor AS is now launching a range of new products designed to appeal to modern workers and businesses. Among the most prominent is a portable dual-screen solution for laptops. This solution is designed to boost productivity by giving users an extended working area wherever they are. The product is aimed in particular at travellers, home-office users and those who work from various locations.
"We see a clear trend where people want to work more flexibly, and then they need tools that support that flexibility," says Odd André. "The dual screens are a good example of a product that can really make a difference for many people."
In addition, a compact travel projector with built-in Wi-Fi and app support for streaming services is being introduced. The projector is designed for easy connection to both a PC and the internet, and is marketed as ideal for presentations, home cinema and entertainment while travelling.
"This projector combines high quality with portability and ease of use. It is just as relevant for business presentations as for a movie night at the cabin," Odd André explains.
A solid customer base and ambitions for the future
Enklere Kontor AS already has an established customer base consisting of both businesses and private individuals. With Odd André at the helm, ambitions for the future are high. The company operates primarily through its online store, www.enklerekontor.no, where the entire product range is available.
"We have a solid platform to build on," Odd André states. "Now it's about further developing the range, strengthening customer relationships and positioning Enklere Kontor AS as a leading player in innovative office solutions."
It will be exciting to follow Enklere Kontor AS under Odd André's leadership and see how the company navigates a dynamic and competitive market.
