Hans Jørn has been involved throughout a large part of the company's history and describes the different eras of the time:
“There was a time up through the 80s when AGRAMKOW was a real entrepreneur company. There were lots of ideas and quick decisions. Later, an external investor came in and financial management became more professionalized with budgets, cost control etc. Later, when the company had grown a bit, there was a lot of focus on people management and developement, where there was a focus on training the employees and having the right skills. And then came internationalization, where during the 90s we especially moved out into the world. We opened branches in the UK, Singapore, and Brazil. Later, we were also present in the United States. We built a network of agents who could help us further out into the world. Since the company became part of the Dürr Group, it has been a real globalization. We are represented all over the world and it is really exciting."
Going forward, Hans Jørn also sees that the company has its opportunities: "The era we are in now, with focus on IoT, Industry 4.0 and digitalization, here we are the market leaders in our segment in appliance. There is an increased pressure on our customers to be able to document their CO2 footprint and we can help them with that," concludes Hans Jørn.
