Scan A/S, which manufactures and markets products under the brands Scan and Kavani, was founded after the second large oil crisis in 1978 when the founder, Henning Krog Iversen (photo at the right), realized that there was a great demand for alternative heating sources.
Since the founding of the company, Scan has experienced an important growth. The company, which is situated in the small town of Vissenbjerg on the island Funen in Denmark, has approximately 160 employees, making it one of the most important employers in the area. The annual revenue is approximately $33,000,000 USD, and since 1978 the company has developed into a sound business with an internationally recognized name.
Even though the company is rooted in Denmark and manufactures products born of Danish traditions, at least 80% of the products from Scan A/S is exported to such diverse countries as Japan and South Africa. However, the largest export markets are European countries, with Norway and Germany as the primary ones. The USA is also considered a solid growth market.
Scan A/S is owned by Jøtul AS, Norway as per January 25th, 2006. Click here to go to Jøtul's homepage.
On the 1st of February 2007 Jens Dalgaard Andersen replaced Henning Krog Iversen as managing director.
In our continuous effort to establish Scan as a super brand we changed company name from Krog Iversen & Co A/S to Scan A/S, effective from the 12th of March 2008.
