Elkær Group has its origins in the sale of a Danish family-owned manufacturing business that was founded more than half a century ago and grew into one of the world's largest in its field. In connection with succession planning, it was decided to sell the company.
The family decided that part of the proceeds should be jointly invested and managed for the benefit of future generations.
The family behind Elkær Group typifies the Danish manufacturing tradition, with a down-to-earth approach to business and a realistic, common-sense approach to investment.
The group now has investments on six continents, ranging from manufacturing and trading to land, forestry, real estate and finance.
