Today Gertsen & Olufsen A/S is a world leading partner for shipping operators, owners and builders in the global marine industry and Scandinavia's leading supplier of craft equipment for smaller ships and pleasure boats. When Gertsen & Olufsen A/S was established in 1945, activities were primarily concentrated around agents and suppliers to Danish ship builders and operators. This area of the company is still a part of the core business and is today supplemented by a significant amount of self-production.
