It all started in 1906. Back then Valdemar Jensen established a small, local blacksmith on the small island ”Tåsinge” in Denmark. The blacksmith later developed into a tool manufacturer achieving great success with the invention of the one-hand operated locking clamp – later known worldwide as the popular blue SCANGRIP-pliers.

In 1993, SCANGRIP was acquired by Anders Borring. Since 2008, SCANGRIP has been introducing new innovative lighting solutions to the market at an unbelievable pace and expanded office and production facilities worldwide.
