About Borealis Process Group
BPG is a metallurgical process engineering consultancy based in Norway, specializing in providing expert services to the mining industry across the Nordic region and broader Europe. The company addresses the current gap in local process engineering expertise in Norway by offering high-quality deliverables at a fraction of the cost of global consultancy firms. Our mission is to empower mining companies with cost-effective, expert engineering solutions while fostering local knowledge and capabilities.
While Norway possesses advanced process engineering expertise within the oil and gas sector, there remains a significant gap in knowledge and experience in the mining and metallurgical industries. At BPG, our mission is to bridge this gap by recruiting and developing a new generation of Norwegian process engineers, equipping them with the specialized skills required to become leaders in the mining sector. This initiative will enable junior mining companies in Norway to access high-quality, cost-effective engineering services locally, reducing their reliance on expensive international consultancies.
