Sven Bech A/s

What Sven Bech A/s does

Sven Bech A/S is a Danish limited company (aktieselskab) founded in 1921 and headquartered at Mesterlodden 13, Gentofte, operating as an integrated landscaping, paving, and authorized sewer contractor. The company is privately held by three co-owners — Michael Dall (Managing Director), Henrik Dall (Head of Grey/Paving Department), and Lars Jensen (Head of Green/Landscaping Department) — with Michael Albrechtsen heading the Sewer Department, all operationally embedded. It employs approximately 70 staff across three departments: anlægsgartneri (landscaping and gardening including planting, pruning, paving, and maintenance), entreprise (general contracting for courtyards, parks, streetscapes, and rooftop gardens), and kloakarbejde (authorized sewer work including CCTV inspection, pipe relining/strømpeforing, high-pressure jetting, sludge suction, rat-blocker installation, drainage, and flood protection).

The company serves three primary customer segments: private homeowners (small garden tasks to multi-million-kroner villa projects), municipalities and public institutions (Copenhagen Kommune, Gladsaxe Kommune, Forsvarsministeriet), and housing associations (AAB, FSB, AB Middelfartsgården), plus select commercial clients such as AGC Biologics and Pension Danmark/Velliv Ejendomme. Its technology stack comprises standard construction equipment plus certified sewer tools (Bucher sludge suction truck, DTVK-certified TV inspection, VA-approved TX11 rat blockers from Nordisk Innovation), and it holds sector-specific certifications including DTVK, Danske Kloakmestre membership (with guarantee scheme), De Grønne Kloakentreprenører, ETW-certified arborists, and Danske Anlægsgartnere membership.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracting for private jobs and competitive public tenders for municipal/institutional work, supplemented by recurring maintenance contracts for green areas and sewer systems. All pricing is quote-based following site visits; there is no online booking, digital sales funnel, or disclosed price list. Distribution is exclusively direct: customers reach the company via phone (39 68 06 55), email, or website contact form, and large projects flow through formal public tendering. Service geography is concentrated in Copenhagen, Gentofte, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Rudersdal, North Sjælland, and the broader Sjælland region. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
