The Story Behind Eltronic A/S

Get to know our history and what has happened since the company was founded more than 20 years ago.

Our History

Eltronic A/S was founded on March 1, 2000, by Lars Jensen. In the first couple of years, Eltronic A/S delivered automation solutions to local production companies with great success. In the following years, Eltronic A/S expanded its competence areas to cover both automation, it, mechanical design, assembly, and service of production lines – both locally and globally. In 2007, the company ran out of space at Spettrupvej in Hedensted. Together with the employees, Eltronic A/S decided to build a new domicile. In May 2010, the new headquarter at Kilde Allé 4 was ready for occupancy.

In 2013, Eltronic A/S received Børsen’s Gazelle Award for the company’s rapid growth pace. Eltronic A/S has since 2015 been ISO 9001 and since 2017 ISO 14001 certified. The certifications demonstrate, firstly, that our quality management system meets international standards and underlines our continued focus on delivering products and solutions of the highest quality. And secondly, that we work actively with sustainability, as we focus on the circular economy as an integrated part of our procedures and deliverables.

Eltronic’s great success has over the years resulted in several organizational changes including company acquisitions as well as spin-offs of business units. These include the spin-off of Eltronic FuelTech in 2018, Eltronic Wind Solution in 2019, and latest the spin-off of Data Intelligence in 2020. Furthermore, in 2020, Eltronic A/S spun off from Eltronic Group into its own separate company, and we have today offices in both Hedensted, Copenhagen, and Odense.

Today, Eltronic A/S is the leading supplier for some of the largest industrial companies in Denmark, and we are proud to be the partner, which improves their global competitiveness.
