Egon Olsen & Son

What Egon Olsen & Son does

Egon Olsen & Søn A/S is a Danish carpentry and construction services firm founded in 1923 and headquartered in Solrød Strand on the island of Sjælland. The company delivers a full-service craft offering across windows and doors, roofing (including BMI RoofPro/Monier-certified tile work), kitchen installation, flooring, and extensions/conversions, with operations concentrated in Zealand and insurance work extending into Copenhagen. Its revenue is project-based, generated under three principal streams: insurance damage repair (where it serves as an approved contractor for multiple unnamed insurers, handling water, fire, storm, and mold claims via in-house håndværkstaksatorer), main-contractor and trade-contractor work for housing associations and commercial clients (including Bonava, Universitetshospital Køge, Bygma, Skodsborg Kurhotel, and Roskilde Museum), and direct-to-consumer renovations for private homeowners.

The business is run as a relationship-driven, field-based operation with a workforce of approximately 70 employees as of 2023 (around 55 field tømrersvende, 15 office/admin staff) supplemented by 15 apprentices maintained continuously — roughly ten times the statutory requirement. Co-owners Michael Hoff-Møller (CEO) and Jesper Leen Jensen acquired the firm in 2013 from third-generation owner Jesper Olsen, and Lars-Christian Brask has chaired the board since 2013. The company has invested in a dedicated HR function, structured quality guarantees, and CSR practices that have produced external recognition including five "Årets Tømrer" awards (2014, 2016, 2022, 2023, 2025) and 9+ consecutive finalist nominations in Årets Håndværker.

A three-year strategy announced at the 2023 100-year anniversary targets 100 million DKK in revenue (up from current levels) and approximately 20 additional jobs. Marketing is anchored on word-of-mouth, customer reviews on Anmeld Håndværker, earned media around awards, and community engagement. There is no proprietary technology platform; competitive position rests on brand heritage, insurance-company approved-contractor status, certified roofing credentials, and a demonstrably strong vocational training pipeline.

• Kemp & Lauritzen: Large Danish technical trade contractor with broad capabilities including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and construction. Overlaps with Egon Olsen on commercial construction and renovation projects but offers a much wider technical scope.
• Per Aarsleff Holding: Major Danish construction and infrastructure group with significant presence in carpentry, foundation, and civil engineering. Comparable on construction capabilities but operates at group level across multiple specialised subsidiaries.
• MT Højgaard Danmark: One of Denmark's largest construction and civil engineering firms, listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen. Overlaps with Egon Olsen on carpentry and commercial construction but operates at vastly larger scale with broader portfolio and geographic reach.
• NCC Danmark: Major Nordic construction and real estate developer with significant Danish operations. Competes for some of the same commercial and housing association tenders but at incomparably larger scale across multiple construction verticals.

Direct peers

• Enemærke & Petersen: Established Danish construction company specialising in residential and commercial building projects. Comparable in service mix (carpentry, renovation, new construction) and target customer segments across Danish regional markets.
