What El Con, Thisted does
Elcon Thisted (legal name EL-CON. THISTED A/S, CVR 45800563) is a Denmark-based installation and service company headquartered in Thisted, specializing in elevators, lifts, stairlifts, cranes, and escalators. Founded in 1985 by Finn Jeppesen, the company imports elevators directly from Spanish manufacturer MacPuarsa to deliver customized sizes and lifting capacities, and distributes space-efficient Cibes lifts and stairlifts. It serves private individuals, commercial and industrial businesses, retail chains, and public-sector institutions across Denmark, with recent reference projects spanning Aalborg Lufthavn, Rema 1000 (25-30 stores), NJ Gruppen, Bach Gruppen, Bones restaurant chain, and Bladt Industries.
The company operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market with end-to-end project delivery from consultation and engineering through installation and after-sale service, supported by 24/7 emergency availability nationwide. Revenue streams include one-time installation projects, hardware sales (cranes), and recurring service/maintenance contracts including mandatory inspections. Certifications include ISO 9001 and Bruun Inspektion (sagkyndig indenfor elevator 461), authorizing the company to perform mandatory elevator, escalator, and moving-walk inspections — a regulated activity that anchors recurring service revenue.
The company is small (~6 staff in core installation/service per internal source, 11-50 per firmographics), and its ownership has undergone multiple transitions since founding: a 2011 generational shift from Finn Jeppesen to Rasmus Jeppesen, a 2017 partnership with Midtthy El, a 2019 restructuring that refocused the company on elevator/lift/crane work while Midtthy El took over electrical tasks, and an effective September 1, 2025 transition in which City Elevator takes over the Midtthy El ownership stake. Core technology is mechanical/electrical vertical-transportation equipment rather than software-defined; no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
