What Aleks Steen does

Aleks Steen Maskinfabrik ApS is a Danish precision CNC machining and metalworking subcontractor operating from a 3,500 m2 facility in Skanderborg, Denmark. Founded in 1978 by Aleks Steen and led since a 2004 generational change by three family-member owners, the company employs 31 staff and runs over 30 CNC machines (Mori Seiki, Hwacheon, Citizen, Meier, Nakamura, Hartford, Brother) supported by KUKA robot cells and a Zeiss Duramax 3D measurement system with 2.7 micron accuracy. The integrated service portfolio covers CNC turning (workpieces ø4-ø600 mm), CNC milling (metals and technical plastics), grinding, welding (TIG/MIG/MAG), assembly, and in-house 3D metrology for quality documentation, supplemented by custom-manufactured single- and double-acting hydraulic cylinders.

Aleks Steen serves as a subcontractor (underleverandør) to Danish industrial companies across wind energy, agricultural machinery, refrigeration compressors, audio/speaker manufacturers, and transport/sorting logistics, delivering both single-piece prototypes and series production under framework agreements (rammeaftaler). The go-to-market is direct B2B sales via phone, email, and quote-based engagement, with no published pricing. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts.

The company is ISO 9001 certified (Bureau Veritas, DANAK-approved), Klimaklar-certified for climate-ready production, and aligned with four UN Sustainable Development Goals. In May 2026 it was acquired by BASO GROUP (Bagger-Sørensen & Co. A/S), joining sibling companies Armiga, ECM Industries, Jymika, and Trier Industries in a shared industrial-community structure while retaining operational identity at the Skanderborg site.
