The painting company Niels A. Nielsen & Søn A/S from Aabenraa in South Jutland, Denmark, is the latest addition to Håndverksgruppen, bringing strong local roots and proud craft traditions.
Since 1898, the company has been a trusted partner to customers in South Jutland. Today, its 32 employees handle everything from interior and exterior painting to the renovation of schools, hospitals, churches, and heritage-listed buildings.
A stronger future – with respect for the roots
For Andreas Nielsen, General Manager of Niels A. Nielsen & Søn A/S, the opportunity to enter a larger professional collaboration and network was decisive in the decision to become part of Håndverksgruppen:
– I am convinced that we have more to offer both our customers and employees as part of Håndverksgruppen. The network and the strong collegial environment among like-minded companies give us the opportunity for professional sparring, development, and taking our profession to the next level. It means a lot to me that we can retain our own identity and continue to operate in the way our employees and customers know us, emphasizes Andreas Nielsen.
The community continues to grow in Denmark
Frederik Stage Olsen, Managing Director of HG Denmark, sees great potential in the new collaboration:
– Niels A. Nielsen & Søn represents everything that makes our group strong: proud craft traditions, local ownership and a strong focus on development and keeping up with the market. We look forward to welcoming them into our network, where we will work together to develop the craft industry and create value for both employees and customers, says Frederik Stage Olsen, and continues:
– It is also very positive to see how the community among the Danish HG companies is growing – not only professionally, but also socially. They are building strong relationships and are seizing opportunities for collaboration and sparring on everything from digitalization and purchasing to staffing, skills development, and much more. This strengthens both the individual companies and Håndverksgruppen as a whole.
Niels A. Nielsen & Søn A/S will continue under its current name and management, retaining its local roots and close customer relationships, while also continuing as co-owners of Håndverksgruppen – in line with all Håndverksgruppen companies.
