History
Vital has its roots back to 1847 when Gjensidige was created. Gjensidige merged with Glitne (1968), Samtrygd (1985), Forenede Forsikring (1992) and Sparebanken NOR Forsikring (1999).
The brand name Vital was created in 1990 when Hygea (founded in 1884) and Norsk Kollektiv Pensjonskasse (founded in 1938) merged to found Vital. Vital was bought by Den norske Bank in 1996. In 2003, after the mother companies of Gjensidge and Vital, respectively Den norske Bank and Gjensidige NOR were merged, the two insurance companies were also merged.
