Our story- the Partners Of Motion Oslo

The story began in 2005 when Hilde & Michelle met on opposite sides of the table in the grocery industry.

Over the next decade, their paths continued to cross, from grocery to pharma, until they finally joined forces in the same distribution company in 2018.

It didn’t take long for them to realize that their combined skills—and the sheer joy of working together—were meant for something bigger.

With a growing passion for high-quality products and a deep understanding of how what we put on our bodies impacts our overall health, the idea of founding their own distribution company took shape. Their mission?

To bring innovative and thoughtfully curated brands to the Scandinavian market, promoting well-being from the outside in.

In 2021 Motion Oslo was born.

In 2022, Inger Johanne joined the company, bringing extensive experience from the beauty industry. As a former co-founder of one of Norway’s largest privately held beauty companies, she became the third female partner in Motion Oslo.
