EMR Murer & Entreprenør

What EMR Murer & Entreprenør does

EMR Murer & Entreprenør A/S is a privately held, owner-managed Danish construction company founded in 1968 by Erik Møller Rasmussen and headquartered in Nørre Snede, Denmark. The company performs nearly all forms of building construction across Denmark, with particular strength east of the Great Belt (Storebælt) and in the Copenhagen metropolitan area. Its core in-house production covers in-situ cast concrete, reinforced concrete, prefabricated element assembly, bricklaying/masonry, tile and clinker installation, and carpentry, with other trades outsourced to approved subcontractors. EMR executes projects under all three Danish contract forms — total contracts (totalentreprise), main contracts (hovedentreprise), and trade contracts (fagentreprise) — with individual project values ranging from small-scale works to contracts exceeding DKK 200 million (e.g., Sivholm at DKK 204.5M, Tretårn at DKK 175M, Kirkebjerg Have at DKK 171.7M).

EMR employs approximately 350 dedicated staff with high tenure, supplemented by a wholly owned subsidiary, Entreprenørfirmaet Poul Pedersen A/S (acquired in 2003), based in Brabrand near Aarhus, which contributes roughly 100 additional workers. The company serves residential, commercial, institutional, and infrastructure clients — including public sector bodies (Vejdirektoratet, Region Midtjylland, municipalities), housing associations (Boligforeningen AAB, Silkeborg Boligselskab), institutional end-users (Syddansk Universitet, DNV Gødstrup hospital), and private developers (AP Pension, NPV A/S). Revenue is project-based, generated through competitive public tendering, private tendering, and direct developer relationships.

The company's strategic positioning emphasizes financial robustness, ESG/sustainability commitment (a dedicated sustainability manager, ESG coordinator, and annual ESG 2024-25 report), and DGNB Gold-certified green building delivery. EMR is member of DI Byggeri, Byg Garanti, and Klimastempel, and won Årets Skolebyggeri 2024 (School Building of the Year) for Dybkærskolen Silkeborg. Ownership is held across seven internal entities representing the management team, reflecting a generational succession model that began in 1999 and most recently expanded in 2017 when current CEO Daniel Simonsen joined as co-owner.

The company also offers earthworks and drainage (primarily east of Storebælt) and executes projects in all contract forms (total, main, or trade contracts).

Broad incumbents

• NCC A/S (Denmark): Nordic construction and real estate developer with significant Danish operations in residential, commercial, and institutional building construction. Competes with EMR for major project tenders across Denmark but with much larger balance sheet and broader Nordic footprint.
• Skanska A/S (Denmark): International Nordic contractor with established Danish operations across building construction and civil infrastructure. Competes with EMR for large public-sector tenders (schools, hospitals, infrastructure) and is comparable in terms of green-building credentials, but at much larger scale.
• MT Højgaard A/S: One of Denmark's largest general contractors, operating across infrastructure, civil engineering, and building construction nationwide. Overlaps broadly with EMR's portfolio of large institutional, residential, and infrastructure projects but operates at significantly greater scale and broader scope.
• Per Aarsleff A/S: Major Danish contracting group combining civil engineering, foundation work, and building construction with nationwide coverage. Comparable to EMR's contractor-on-buildings profile but at substantially larger scale and with broader infrastructure/civil capabilities.
• Veidekke ASA (Denmark): Scandinavian construction contractor with Danish operations covering building construction, civil engineering, and rehabilitation. Directly comparable to EMR's general contracting and building construction work in Denmark, though larger and broader in scope.

Direct peers

• Jorton A/S: Danish construction contractor with nationwide operations in building construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects. Directly comparable to EMR in terms of project types, contract forms, and Danish-market positioning as a mid-sized regional contractor.
• Enemærke & Petersen a/s: Mid-sized Danish general contractor executing institutional, residential, and commercial building projects nationwide, including DGNB-certified work. Closely comparable to EMR in scale, contract structure (total/main/trade contracts), in-house production trades, and Danish-market focus.
