OUR JOURNEY

2001

ARCTIKO Was Founded

The company was founded in 2001 by Mr. Lars Ole Jensen. The opportunity to start up the company came through thanks to Mr. Jensen's prior connections and global sales experience in the cooling industry where he worked for 15 years. He started working from his home until he moved into a small office in Esbjerg City.

2004

New Hires

In 2004, the first 2 employees where hired to help him with his fast growing business. At that point, the company was producing high performance cooling products for laboratories and the medical segment worldwide.

2005

Esbjerg Facility

In 2005, the company moved again to bigger facilities in Esbjerg. That step gave the opportunity to have more stock and also to have the offices on the same site. At that time, the firm counted only 6 employees.

2007

More Expansion

Two years later, due to the need of larger offices, stock facilities and a bigger workshop, the company moved again to larger premises in the industrial area of Esbjerg. The same year, another huge step was made when the company became ISO 9001 certified.

2009

Name Change

In 2010, the name of the company changed from Dairei Europe A/S to ARCTIKO A/S.

2021

ICM Holdco

Since December 2021 ARCTIKO was fully owned by the American investment fund ICM Holdco, based in NY, USA. Besides ARCTIKO Holdco owns another 11 companies, all with distribution directed towards pharma, medical, and health care sectors. Former owners, founder Lars Ole Jensen and CEO Peter Laugesen, are still on board as Executives, both having placed a reinvest in the new Holdco structure.
