Inge Brigt Aarbakke’s grandfather started it all in 1918 by making horseshoes. This continued until 1981, when Inge Brigt introduced the first CNC machine.

In 1988, Inge Brigt acquired another local mechanical company, Jær Mek, which was soon incorporated into Aarbakke AS. In 1990, Aarbakke AS merged with the engineering company Njuma, thereby establishing its own engineering department. Two years later, Aarbakke AS was acquired by Nodeco, a company primarily operating within completion equipment for the oil industry. Nodeco was subsequently acquired by Weatherford, an American oil service company with global operations.

In April 2000, Inge Brigt bought Aarbakke AS back, and the company once again became an independent production company based in Jæren, Rogaland. In the spring of 2003, Aarbakke relocated to a brand-new facility that had been long in planning, significantly improving its production capabilities for the future.

Due to continued growth and high demand, the premises were expanded in 2008 with a new production hall, new office areas, and a unique wellness department for employees, including spa and fitness facilities. At the same time, Aarbakke expanded internationally together with the other companies in the Aarbakke Group.

In September 2025, Aarbakke carried out a major expansion, opening a new 10,000 m² production hall. This development also included the installation of a fully automated Remmert storage system, a new dispatch area, and a large outdoor steel storage facility.

As of March 2026, the company has 350 employees and a turnover of NOK 1 billion, expected to increase gradually in the years to come. Approximately 99 percent of production is related to the energy industry, with customers including various subsea and oil service companies.
