This year it is 40 years ago that manufacturer Peter Damgaard founded NASSAU. Already within the first five years of NASSAU’s lifetime eight extensions of the manufacturing plant was needed in order to keep up with demand. The company is now an international brand and distributes industrial doors, service and complementary products in most of Europe and beyond.
At the reception in the NASSAU Group headquarter at Krogagervej, Ringe in Denmark, hangs a large number of pictures of employees who have been employed in NASSAU for 25 years. They have all been part of a great Danish business story, a story NASSAU is determined to continue for many years to come.
