Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation, has started to run its own branch office in Denmark since September. The company now directly provides local support with a manufacturer’s technological know-how, market insights and expertise. So far, Shimadzu has been supported by a local distributor and will continue customer relationships and existing contracts in the future. The branch office is located in Greater Copenhagen, with the full address Shimadzu Filial Danmark, Lautruphøj 5-7, 2750 Ballerup.
Branch office located in Denmark’s economic and scientific heartland
“We have chosen this location for our branch office as it connects in two directions,” says Morten Thorslund, Sales and Service Manager of the Shimadzu Denmark Branch Office. “There is the Greater Copenhagen region as the country’s economic and scientific heartland, well-known for its chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as the metal-processing sectors. And there are several regional centers all over Denmark, where a lot of food, industrial, universities and other customers are placed. From this location, we can approximately 75 % of our customers, in a matter of minutes, and the rest within a few hours car ride.”
Denmark also features the development of knowledge-based industries and high-tech companies from environmental, bio and information technologies. Copenhagen and the greater cities are home to advanced technologies clusters, such as the Danish part of the ‘Medicon Valley’ covering major life science sectors, e.g. pharmacology, biotechnology, health tech and medical technology; the ‘Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster’ for new environmental technologies; and the Danish part of the ‘Øresund IT Region’ with nanoand micro-technologies.
Furthermore, the universities and academic institutions are spread all over the country; approximately half of them are concentrated in the Greater Copenhagen area. “This area also was the hometown and work environment of Niels Bohr, besides Albert Einstein probably the most influential physicist who fundamentally changed the understanding of the world,” adds Morten Thorslund. In his work, Niels Bohr focused atoms in the field of quantum mechanics and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1922.

“Our lab technologies and equipments explore the microcosm of chemical and physical processes as a basis for quantitative and qualitative ultra-trace analysis of substances, compounds and ingredients,” says Morten Thorslund. Shimadzu’s advanced product range provides systems covering chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, TOC (sum parameter), life sciences, and testing machines solutions. They are applied for consumer, patient, and environmental protection as well as product safety.
