The history of the company

It all began in 1969 when Carl C. Jensen and his wife Elisabeth Øllgaard Jensen rented some premises in the small village Lem in the western part of Jutland. He actually began his business without concentrating on any specific products. But because of his craftsmanlike education in the steel business and subsequently his engineer education, Carl C. Jensen was aware of the possibilities in this line of business. Therefore the company began producing steel constructions for the building sector and also offered to do special tasks for the power stations. 

During the years the company has come up with a lot of funny inventions together with the customers. For example a scooter which could drive on the high voltage line and a submarine which could wash the high voltage cables down into the bottom of the sea to ensure that the fishermen's trawl wouldn't destroy them. Moreover, the company has produced special installation bridges, making it possible to draw the transmission lines across the Little Belt and the Liim Fiord.

In the mid 1970s, as a result of the technological development, there was an increasing demand for lattice towers and satellites. Carl C. A/S was actually one of the first companies in Europe to develop satellite screens for communal aerial systems and telecommunication. The knowledge of the company's expertise of lattice towers spread further and further. The result has been large deliveries of wind turbine towers for both the United States, India, China and several European countries. And when the demand for towers for mobile telephony started in the beginning of the 1990s, Carl C. A/S was extremely well prepared and could deliver to telecommunication companies all over Europe.

In 2006 the company was turned over to the son of Elisabeth and Carl, Allan T. Jensen. With his engineer education and 15 years of experience in the company, he was ready to carry on with the business.

Today the company still mainly produces lattice towers, of which about half is exported.
