ABOUT
Fredrikstad Innovation Park
snø* is the Norwegian translation for snow. The letter «Ø» is
specifically unique for Scandinavia. A landscape of snow has
many crystals. All crystals consist of water and through
cooling they gain their unique structure and shape.
snø* is like a cloud in the sky, we turn water
droplets into ice crystals and ensure that every
crystal lands, covering its world.
From water to ice, we create snow.
From problem to idea, we create solutions.
is an industrial design company
based in Fredrikstad, one hour from Oslo,

HISTORY
Founder: Ragnar Pedersen
Råde Verktøy AS - a plastic injection moulding and alloy
casting company. Established in a barn in 1968, Råde
Verktøy produced tooling equipment for industry on a local
and national level. Founder, Ragnar Pedersen was a hard
working man with a mechanical engineering background. In the
family based company, a young and eager boy was brought up in
a tooling workshop.
1984
With a 40% export supplying Scandi-
navian industry as Volvo Car Corporation
and Saab Automobile AB, expansion was due.
A 500m2 building was raised with the State
Institute of Technology recommendations for
effective production. The company takes a leading
position in the development of products and tooling
equipment using CAD software. Råde Verktøy is the first
to take on digital 3D scanning in Norway as they continue to
supply local companies as Hamax and Noblikk-Sannem.

2005
In the early 21st century, ownership of
Råde Verktøy AS is handed from father to
son. Vidar Pedersen renames the company
to Tooling Network Norway AS to better meet
the current market. In cost effectiveness, mould
production and casting is gradually outsourced.
Mould design, its techniques and an international
portfolio of tooling producers is the main trade.
Simultaneously, the company provides design services
and solutions. The current customer list is maintained as
new international customers are brought to the table.

PRODUCT DESIGN
PRODUCT DESIGN
The detailed specification
of a manufactured item`s
parts and their relationship to
the whole. A product designer
needs to take into account how
the item will perform its intended
functionality in an efficient, safe and
reliable manner. The product also needs
to be capable of being made economically
and to be attractive to targeted consumers.
SERVICE DESIGN
SERVICE DESIGN
Service design is the activity of
planning and organizing people,
infrastructure, communication and
material components of a service
in order to improve its quality and the
interaction between service provider and
customers. The purpose of service design
methodologies is to design according to the
needs of customers or participants, so that the
service is user-friendly, competitive and relevant to
the customers.

MANUFACTURING DESIGN
MANUFACTURING DESIGN
The database release of production tooling, including 3D CAD geometry,
2D documentation and bill of materials. It is important that the tooling
is designed to compliment the product functionally and aesthetically.
In pre-production we examine the products mechanical requirements.
These could be critical functions such as fit, kinematics, structure, force
profiles and user interactions. The functions largely determine areas of
stress and defined requirements. Material qualities and concentrations
provide further performance. We use the latest and one of the worlds best
3D Programs SIEMENS NX to ensure top quality development for our
customers and production suppliers.

Motion Design
MOTION DESIGN
An animation is a movie with 3D elements in motion. This type of film can bring your
product to life by giving it a story and personality. You can visually communicate
everything from functionality to internal architecture.
develops high quality animation, providing the right mood for you set-
ting, may it be a meeting or an exhibition. In the company of a product

GRAPHIC DESIGNGRAPHIC DESIGN
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Graphic design is all about communication through illustrated or written
media, creating a certain notion to the end customer. The visual is the first
thing the eye meet in contact with a product or a service. Graphic design is
essential for communicating through different medias, printed or digital, such
as packaging design, websites, brochures or stationary.
To our visual platform of graphic design, we are joining forces with Vibeke Jerkaas at
Customaid. Vibeke has developed a strong portfolio over the years, joining with
confident expertise regarding visual communication.
FREEBIT

FABEL RESTAURANT
A holistic project made for three acompanying
restaurants located in the heart of Fredrikstad,
House of Litterature. The branding of the concept
such as naming, concept development, the graphical
profile and corresponding visual estetics, were made
with a loving inspiration rooted in litterature.
Fabel Litterature Café, Fabel Foodbar, and Fabel Restaurant, all
three concepts based one common idea - downright good quality.
The main focus to the concept were in the detail of the experience,
to create delightful sensations throughout the dinner.

*Manufacturers & Suppliers
As a previous manufacturer of tooling and injection moulding, we have built a solid
partnership with suppliers in strategic manufacturing countries. Through time this
has shown confidence in delivery and quality for our customers.
There are several factors that are important when deciding on tooling and product
manufacturing partners. Local production is our primary consideration, but it is the
customer’s current business matters that underline the choice of further manufacturer.
