R. Frimodt Pedersen

What R. Frimodt Pedersen does

R. Frimodt Pedersen a/s is a privately held Danish industrial distribution company headquartered in Daugård, Denmark, operating in the electrical and mechanical power transmission industry for over 60 years (since 1963). The company represents leading European manufacturers of electric motors, gearboxes, brakes, frequency converters, and safety components, selling exclusively into the Danish industrial market. The business is family-owned and led by Managing Director Jan Frimodt Pedersen, with John Frimodt Pedersen serving as Director of Purchasing, and employs 22 staff across management, sales, purchasing, workshop, and accounting functions. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (maintained since 1996 via FORCE Certification A/S) and is Achilles JQS qualified for the oil and gas supplier network in Norway and Denmark.

The product portfolio spans the full power transmission stack. Electric motors range from 0.05kW to 3MW across cast-iron lines (VEM, CEMP) and aluminum lines (TEE, EMGR, M.T. Motori Elettrici), including IE3/IE4 energy-efficient and ATEX/IECEx-certified variants. Gearboxes and gearmotors are supplied under Tramec, KEB, STM/GSM, and Varmec, covering bevel, spur, worm, planetary, and angular configurations with torque ranges from 0.9 to 800,000 Nm. Safety components come from Mayr (electromagnetic brakes, safety couplings, overload clutches) and VIS (safety brakes to 16,000 Nm). Frequency converters span 0.18kW to 5.3MW via Vacon (Danfoss) and BerMar, and external ventilation systems are sourced from Wistro. An in-house workshop with skilled workers produces custom-configured units including brake motors, motors with temperature monitoring, external ventilation, standstill heating, and non-standard shafts/flanges.

The business model combines hardware distribution with light value-added assembly services. Customers are reached through a direct sales team (internal sales, external representatives, and technical sales staff) and a network of more than 40 authorized dealers covering Jutland, Zealand, Funen, and Bornholm. Pricing is quote-based in DKK and EUR with no public price lists, and fulfillment draws on a substantial inventory at the Daugård facility to enable rapid delivery. A 24/7 emergency telephone service is offered with a surcharge for after-hours response, addressing production-downtime scenarios for industrial operators.
