Gravlund Industrigummi

What Gravlund Industrigummi does

Gravlund Industrigummi A/S is a Danish custom industrial rubber component manufacturer headquartered in Ballerup, near Copenhagen. Founded on more than 75 years of rubber-industry experience — rooted in JAPO Gummifabrik (1949) and consolidated under the Gravlund brand via the acquisitions of Søndergårds Industrigummi (~2005) and JAPO (2007) — the company designs, develops and produces molded rubber components, rubber-to-metal bonded parts, gaskets, bellows, profiles, membranes, rollers and cable mouldings. Its in-house capabilities span vulcanization, injection molding for medical parts, two mixing mills for compound adaptation, die-cutting and CNC-cutting, alongside in-house mold production. The company emphasizes technical advisory services spanning material selection, design and tooling, positioning itself as a development partner rather than a commodity supplier.

The company serves seven distinct verticals: industrial manufacturing, transport (25+ year track record with EN45545 flame-retardant compounds), defense, offshore and marine (NORSOK-approved compounds), medical (FDA, ISO 10993, USP Class VI biocompatible silicone via injection molding), Danish design, and food industry (FDA CFR 21 §177.2600, EU 1935/2004). Customers range from small production firms to large international pharmaceutical corporations, and the firm maintains ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications (DNV), TransQ (transport sector, annual), and an AAA credit rating. It does not sell to private individuals.

Commercially, Gravlund operates a sales-led B2B model with direct customer engagement from concept through production, offering fast prototyping and quote-based pricing with no minimum order requirements. The firm accommodates batch sizes from a single unit to 100,000+ pieces, with customer-owned molds stored at the Ballerup facility to support recurring production. It also distributes Dutch partner TPP's rubber profiles in its domestic market. Distribution is direct-only (domestic and international), with no reseller network. Revenue, funding and ownership details are not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held.
