Who we are

We are a family-held company founded in Denmark in 1965 and built upon passionate, knowledgeable people.

Our relationships, our responsiveness

Our culture is enriched with a genuine appetite to make a mark that goes far beyond doing good in all our relationships – with patients and healthcare professionals, as well as our society, environment, partners, and colleagues. We take pride in our responsiveness, which is fuelled by a short chain of command, accessibility, and a total elimination of silo-thinking across all aspects of our organisation.
