What Dania Plast does

Dania Plast A/S is a Danish technical plastics injection molding company operating two fully automated factories in Skive and Mariager with approximately 60 employees and roughly 65 injection molding machines across more than 8,000 m² of production area. The company produces plastic components at series sizes ranging from a few units to billions of units, serving B2B customers across multiple verticals including food & beverage (via FSSC 22000-certified cleanroom production of food contact materials), aquaculture (via patented RK BioElements and Saddle Chips biofilter elements sold on all seven continents), cleaning, and general industrial OEM manufacturing.

The business model is a vertically integrated contract manufacturing and OEM service: Dania Plast engages with customers across the full value chain — from product development and moldflow analysis through tooling, 1- or 2-component injection molding (25 to 700 tons), sub-assembly, cleanroom production, packaging in customer-specific packaging, temporary storage, and staged scheduled deliveries. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts and dedicated key account managers. More than 50% of production uses regenerated (recycled) plastic, processing over 1,500 tons annually, and the company holds ISO 9001, FSSC 22000, UL, and EcoVadis certifications as well as the Danish Working Environment Authority green smiley.

The company is 100% owned by Danish holding company RK Group A/S following a 2019 merger with RK Plast A/S, the originator of the RK BioElements product line. In January 2024, Dania Plast acquired the activities of KSK Aqua ApS, adding the patented Saddle Chips biomedium to its aquaculture portfolio. Leadership includes CEO Tommy Bonnerup (since February 2021), Sales Director Allan Hansen (since November 2023), Production Director Mark Wolff, and CFO Morten Høgh Nyborg. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
