Heritage

1995

DENSO opens its first local entity in the heart of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Transforming the attics of a beautiful building from the early 1900’s to office area, DENSO were located in heart of Gothenburg, the first local entity in Sweden was a truly special place and very effective to build up a network and relationships in the new market place of Sweden.

2007

Expanding and moving closer to the customer for better support and operational efficiency.

By 2007, DENSO Sweden had completely grown too big for the beautiful attic in heart of Gothenburg and moved to Lindholmen, very close to the main customers having some facilities just across the street and headquarters just within a 10-15 minutes’ drive. This time, an old ship engine factory with huge ceiling height was rebuilt into an office area and therefore, also the new DENSO Sweden became again very special environment.

Location was already perfect as during the last 10 years, the Lindholmen area expanded and turned into a complete hub for Automotive with focus on Safety and IT, where Swedish companies now intend to compete with major dragons in all these fields.

We needed literary more of everything and decided to build another floor in the old engine factory. The construction is just about to finish and yet again, we aim to again establish special place for our employees, visitors and partners.
