A genuine business adventure..

The company was founded by Jens-Martin Nielsen in 1980, where it was named Scantool A/S. After many years of employment and experience from the company THRIGE-TITAN and then KEF-Motor A/S, he developed the wet stone grinder Scanslib 200 at his family’s former grocery store on Oeland in the north of Jutland. Scanslib 200 became a great success both national and international. It was especially a success in Japan, since Scantool A/S managed to sell more than 70.000 grinding machines during a period of 8 years. Furthermore, it led to the “Prince Henrik’s and Danish Work’s Export Gold Medal” in 1990. After the development of Scanslib 200, the company developed a series of other products including our iconic industrial belt grinder Scantool 75. This became the start of a genuine business adventure and an incredibly strong family togetherness.

The culture and values within the company are still characterized by the same culture and values, which Jens-Martin Nielsen and his family started back in the day. The strong family togetherness within the nearest family has branched out into the entire company. The culture among the direction, administration and production is familial and down to earth. Most of our employees have many years of seniority, and a lot of former employees regularly stops by for a little chat. We have a flat organizational structure and a low hierarchy – there is not far from idea to action. We are very committed and work together towards the same goal: To ensure satisfied customers.
