History

From a traditional engineering factory to an innovative clean tech business

1964

1970

2000

KD Maskinfabrik was founded in Vejle by master blacksmith Kaj Dalgaard in December 1964 and produced metal goods for both private customers and smaller businesses under the name Kaj Dalgaard's Smithy and Engineering Workshop.

From the 1970s onwards KD Maskinfabrik collaborated closely with Krüger A/S on designing solutions for wastewater treatment -and in all this time 'quality' has been our trademark.

In 2000 KD Maskinfabrik moved to modern surroundings on Karetmagervej in Vejle. This is where design, production, management, sales, marketing and other administrative functions are gathered in one place.

The business is currently one of the leading technological suppliers in Denmark of solutions for wastewater treatment and industrial sewage treatment equipment. For more than 50 years KD Maskinfabrik has worked with design, production and installation of equipment for water treatment in both Denmark and abroad.

In the past few years KD Maskinfabrik has undergone a transformation from being a traditional smithy and workshop to being a modern, innovative clean tech business - KD Group. Via close dialogue with our customers, we focus on creating innovative, high quality solutions within value engineering and improved environmental technology.

Today KD Group consists of three business units: KD DWE, which delivers solutions and equipment for wastewater treatment, KD VeSave, which develops solutions that reclaim industrial water from wastewater in food processing, and KD Pile Equipment, which produces moulding equipment for the concrete industry.

We look for new ways to progress with customers and universities to create the most innovative and sustainable solutions for the world's wastewater industries, e.g., removal of microplastics and recycling of wastewater.

Value Engineering

KD Group is a modern, international clean tech business. Our products and solutions, which are delivered primarily to the wastewater and concrete industries, are of high quality and developed on the basis of our deep knowledge of the industry gathered over more than 50 years.

Value Engineering optimisation is the central mind set, and the foundation for the development of optimised, better solutions. This means that our focus is always on how to optimise processes, products and solutions according to our four basic principles, which in combination give the customer a better, cheaper solution based on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

High quality
Delivery on time
Flexibility
Cost optimization.
