Opinion piece - The government forgot handicrafts in the youth report

After ten years abroad, Karianne Aanesland has moved home to work in the 80-year-old family business. She is still unsure whether she will take over.

For 80 years, Aanesland Treindustri has built expertise in the decoration of wooden houses - with a particular focus on traditional and stylish Swiss details.

The study tour to Norwegian Wood Cluster in the Kristiansand area recently included a stop at Aanesland Treindustri in Lillesand. There, an engaged chairman Gunnar Adolf Aanesland told about the factory's history and the conscious focus on reuse solutions in recent years.
