“Made in Denmark” represents quality, reliability, flexibility and sustainability

Choose Denmark for your next manufacturing hub and tap into an industry cluster with cross-company and cross-sector collaboration on optimizing production with advanced technologies, lean & modular automation, and agile production processes.

A resilient production environment

Not only is Denmark home to world-class advanced and sustainable manufacturing plants, Denmark is also a safe haven with a low risk production environment. This is supported by the FM Global Resilience Index 2020, who ranked Denmark on a 3rd place.
 
In regards to resilience, Denmark outperforms on a broad scale. Few external risks exist in terms of threats such as pandemics, climate change, natural disasters and cyber-attacks. Furthermore, there is a high level of trust as well as high socio-economic, political and geopolitical stability, which according to Transparency International, makes Denmark the world’s most transparent country.
 
In Denmark, investments are secured for the long-term future and reliability of manufacturing hubs as well as risk mitigation constitute this basis.

Why Denmark succeeds in Automatic Sustainable Manufacturing

Denmark pushes for circular business models and sustainable manufacturing

In Denmark, we listen to the consumers of tomorrow - we act! With three Danish manufacturers – Örsted, Chr. Hansen and Novozymes – in the top six on Corporate Knights’ global top 100 most sustainable companies, Denmark proves to be a leading country on circular and sustainable manufacturing. And more importantly, we have the necessary sustainable infrastructure, the right sustainable innovation hubs and regulatory conditions to promote your circular business model and to lower your sustainable manufacturing footprint.
 
It is commonly known that in Denmark access can be gained to large amounts of price-competitive green energy. However, a green transition of a manufacturing plant is much more than a green energy supply. Sustainable interventions such as circular business models, sustainable & digital value chains, waste management, water treatment plants, as well as sustainable products, materials and packaging are widely promoted in Denmark.
 
The Environmental Performance Index recently announced Denmark to lead the climate change action. As the “State of Green”, Denmark is your opportunity to be part of a pioneer movement that will place your company on the map as one of the world’s most sustainable companies.
 
To sum it all up, Denmark is ready to lower your manufacturing and CO2 footprint and increase your sustainable brand value.

Flexible and agile manufacturing

These days, the Danish manufacturing industry is rapidly adopting the latest digitised, highly automated production technologies. A proactive approach to advanced automation manufacturing places Denmark at the forefront of Industry 4.0.

The Danish robotics and automation industry cluster, for example, is one of the leading clusters of its kind in the world. Due to a strong collaboration with the manufacturing industry, the usage of new modular robots, such as inexpensive, collaborative and mobile robots, is ensured.

A society built on trust produces a highly skilled and flexible workforce

Danish workers across educational levels are known to be responsible, efficient, talented and motivated. Workers possess a future-oriented mindset and according to the European Commission, Denmark is the most digitised economy and society in the EU, which results in a positive attitude towards automation in production.
 
Self- managing teams are common in Danish production environments, as the Danish management style allows teams to come up with their own plan for achieving production targets with minimal managerial intervention. This trust creates highly adaptable production lines that ensure on-time product delivery.
 
Moreover, worker conflicts that potentially could interrupt your production, are very uncommon and Denmark offers some of the world’s most flexible hiring & firing rules that allow businesses to adjust to market demands rapidly at a very low cost.
 
Altogether, inexpensive and flexible labour market regulations combined with a talented Danish workforce, as documented by the IMD World Talent Report 2019, Denmark offers a highly productive and cost efficient production environment ideal for scaling your production up or down with minimal costs.
