EFI Global (Danmark)

What EFI Global (Danmark) does

EFI Global (Danmark), legally Sedgwick Danmark A/S (CVR 26694280), is a Danish specialist in building damage investigation, building-physics consulting, and microbiological laboratory analysis. Operating from Ballerup (headquarters) and Kolding, the firm was founded in 1986 (originally as Goritas) and was rebranded to EFI Global in October 2024 to align with its parent group, Sedgwick, a global claims and loss-adjustment platform that employs more than 800 people across 13 countries. The unit is led by Director Jens Kornum and also includes Laboratory Manager Angela Steinfurth and Kolding Department Manager Dennis Rugtved Thomsen.

The company's core offering covers four interlocking services: damage investigation and root-cause analysis (moisture, mold, structural, and indoor climate), accredited laboratory analyses performed in-house, advisory and expert witness work (four registered expert witnesses on the Danish team), and paid training courses for practitioners. Underlying technical capability rests on established building-physics simulation tools — WUFI, HEAT, THERM, Glaser, and MATCH — supplemented by a proprietary mold growth simulation model built on Finnish research, and non-destructive moisture mapping via TRAMEX Roof Scanner. The in-house microbiological laboratory is a distinguishing asset, allowing integrated sampling-to-analysis workflows that competitors typically outsource.

EFI Global Danmark sells to four B2B segments: insurance companies (claims-driven investigation and expert witness work), housing associations, construction companies, and property managers. The expert-witness and investigation line is project-based per assignment, training is priced per course, and laboratory work is priced per analysis. The 2011 acquisition of Bygge- og Miljøteknik (BMT) added casework archive and technical depth. As a Danish subsidiary of Sedgwick, the unit is part of a global distribution channel into major insurance carriers, but revenue, customer names, and pricing are not publicly disclosed.
