Schibsted ASA is a Norwegian media and digital marketplace company with roots dating to 1839. The group built a broad portfolio of newspapers, online publications and digital classified-advertising platforms, serving consumers and businesses primarily in the Nordic region and selected international markets.
Its marketplace activities have included platforms such as FINN in Norway, Blocket in Sweden, Tori in Finland, DBA in Denmark and Bilbasen, which connect users buying and selling vehicles, homes, jobs, goods and services. Schibsted has also operated prominent media brands, including VG, Aftenposten and E24 in Norway, along with other digital news and content services.
Schibsted underwent a major corporate restructuring in the 2020s, separating its media operations from its Nordic online marketplaces. The marketplace business subsequently adopted the name Vend Marketplaces, while the media activities continued under the Schibsted name and ownership associated with the Tinius Foundation. The company’s operations and brands have historically focused on Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, with additional international exposure through earlier marketplace and media investments.
