C.C.JENSEN A/S

What C.C.JENSEN A/S does

C.C.JENSEN A/S is a family-owned Danish company founded in 1953 that designs, manufactures, and services offline oil filtration systems under the CJC brand. Its core technology uses proprietary depth-filtration units — Fine Filter (HDU), Varnish Removal (VRU), Filter Separator (PTU), and Water Removal units — paired with consumable cellulose-based filter inserts (GFi, FA, VRi) to continuously remove particles, water, varnish, and acidity from hydraulic, gear, turbine, lube, transformer, and fuel oils while equipment remains in operation. Manufacturing and core technology development are centralized in Denmark under ISO 9001:2015 quality management, and marine/offshore designs carry Lloyd's Register Design Appraisal status and IACS class-rule compliance.

The company sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales motion: 13 wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1 sales office, 3 affiliated companies, and more than 100 distributors across 20+ countries route customer inquiries to regional filtration specialists who recommend application-engineered solutions. Revenue is generated through a mix of capital equipment sales (filter units), recurring consumables (replacement filter inserts, including recurring-delivery arrangements), and a services layer comprising on-site service, rentals, spare parts, training, and condition monitoring. Pricing is consultative and quote-based rather than list-published.

C.C.JENSEN serves industrial customers in five primary verticals: Marine & Offshore (fuel and lube oil cleaning), Mining & Cement (crusher and gear oil filtration), Power Generation (turbine varnish removal, transformer oil maintenance), Wind Energy (gearbox moisture and particle control), and general Industry (hydraulic system protection). Documented outcomes include oil life extended up to 4x, component life up to 5x, and quantified savings such as 52,560 litres of marine fuel saved annually (Seadrill), 20,000 litres of oil saved annually (BHP Billiton/Minera Escondida), and a €28,000 avoided oil change (TIRME). Named customers include Seadrill, BHP Billiton, TIRME, and a major US-based tyre manufacturer. The company is privately held under continuous family ownership since founding, with key contacts located in Denmark and global sales coverage via the subsidiary and distributor network.
