history
In 1891 the Dane Hans Peter Prior founded NKT. NKT Holding in its current form has only existed since 1991 when a completely new structure was introduced. In 1994 one of the then parts of the conglomerate, NKT Electronics, was sold. In 1998 the shares in Lexel were sold for a profit of 2.8 billion Danish kroner (376,358,948 €). In addition, NKT Cables took a stake in the Cologne-based company Felten & Guillaume Kabelwerke GmbH, which doubled the production of NKT Cables. In 2002 NKT sold GiGA to Intel, with a profit of 4.6 billion Danish kroner (approx. 620 million €). In the years that followed, NKT acquired shares in a large number of companies and thus continued its growth strategy. In 2008 the cooperation with Petrobras was established, which from 2009 to 2011 led to the supply of the Brazilian oil company's offshore pipelines by companies of the NKT Holding. In 2011, another agreement was signed between Petrobras and NKT that brought NKT 9.7 billion Danish kroner (around 1.3 billion €) by 2015. In 2013, a new organizational structure was worked out to prepare the company for the future.
Between 1989 and 2017, Nilfisk was a subsidiary of NKT. Nilfisk produces cleaning equipment primarily for industrial companies and is one of the world's leading companies in this branch.
