Joergen Jensen,
President and CEO
Founded in a small backyard
workshop in 1906, Nilfisk-Advance
is today the global leader in
professional cleaning equipment.
The company employs 3,800
people and sales are handled by
subsidiaries in 31 countries
throughout Europe, North America
and Asia. In addition Nilfisk-
Advance is represented by
distributors in further 62 countries.
By any standards, this is a story of
success, but it is just beginning. For
while Nilfisk-Advance can boast
100 years of experience, ambition
and growth remain at the heart of
its strategy - for the next 100 years
and beyond.
Experience matters
It is important for cleaning
professionals to know that they
are dealing with a company that is
reliable, financially sound and that
has years of experience in this
industry. Having been in business
for 100 years, Nilfisk-Advance
meets all these criteria. The
ongoing commitment to quality,
that has always been a hallmark
of Nilfisk-Advance equipment, is
supported by the vast experience
that generations of designers
and engineers have invested into
our products. This deep and
fundamental knowledge is
unmatched and irreplaceable.
Lowering the cost of
cleaning
Product development and technical
innovation are of prime importance
to Nilfisk-Advance in its drive to
remain at the leading edge of
cleaning equipment know-how. By
maintaining a constant focus on
the needs of our customers, we aim
to lower the cost of cleaning
through efficient and time saving
products. At the same time as
developing new products, we are
continuously looking for ways to
improve those machines that we
already have in our portfolio. Being
never satisfied with the status quo
is one way of maintaining our
competitiveness in the global arena.
Striving for excellence in all
we do
It took many years of hard and
dedicated work for Nilfisk-Advance
to achieve its global leadership
position in the world of professional
cleaning equipment. We know,
therefore, that success doesn't
come easily and can never be taken
for granted. Which is why we strive
for excellence in everything that we
do, not only in the designing and
building of our machines, but in all
aspects of our business.
We expect our customer service
personnel to be knowledgeable,
polite and efficient. We expect our
back-office team to be ready and
fully capable of supporting our field
sales and service people, and we
are constantly examining ways of
improving the flow of our processes
and systems. Nothing is ever taken
for granted, least of all success.
A full range of indoor and
outdoor cleaning equipment
Nilfisk-Advance is constantly
developing new and better
products to meet the needs of
our customers, and investment in
research and development is a
company priority. Today the product
portfolio is larger and deeper than
at any time in the company's long
history. From lightweight backpack
vacuum cleaners to heavy-duty
road sweepers, there is a full range
