History

Due to the growing demand of remanufactured automotive units, we establish another production site in Poland. This time placed in Lublin.

We introduce our Mechatronics Forum - an electronic platform with the purpose of creating a network of entities interested in Mechatronics.

The industrial conglomerate, Schouw & Co. acquires BORG Automotive in 2017. Besides BORG Automotive, Schouw & Co. owns five other large Danish industrial enterprises, and provides a solid foundation for BORG Automotive’s growth ambitions.

We open our very own academy in Belgium. The purpose of the academy is to educate our employees in Mechatronics.

In 2015, we are awarded the prize of Remanufacturer of the Year, which is one of the most sought-after awards in the European Automotive Aftermarket.

In 2014, we open Northern Europe's largest core warehouse in Zdunska Wola, Poland. The new core warehouse has space for more than 1 million units.

Once again, we expand our product range and start remanufacturing EGR valves at our production site in Belgium. Later, when the production increased, we moved the production to our production site in Zdunska Wola, Poland.

BORG Automotive acquires the European part of the American company Cardone, which is placed in The United Kingdom and Belgium, and renames it Car Parts Industries (CPI). With this acquisition, remanufacturing of steering products begin and two new production sites are added; Steering products are remanufactured in UK and Brake Calipers in Belgium.

In 2007, we acquire the well-established starter and alternator remanufacturing company, Danish Remanufacturing Industry (DRI), which is one of our recognized brands today.

Continuous expansion of the product range means, that we in 2006 acquire the remanufacturing of brake calipers from the Danish company, Carl Christensen, and transfer it to Zdunska Wola in Poland.

A lot of interesting things happened for us in 2004; BORG Automotive A/S is created as a group identity, and TRW Inc. assigns the main license for Lucas products in Europe to us. Furthermore, we extend our product range as the remanufacturing of A/C Compressors begins. In this connection, we acquire the remanufacturing of A/C compressors from the French company, Faurecia, and transfer it to Zdunska Wola in Poland. 

Increasing growth means that we move our production in Poland to a larger industrial area in Zdunska Wola.

Having expanded the capacity in Poland, all production from Elstock in Denmark is transferred to Poland in 1996. 

Elstock A/S is one of the first in the industry to see the possibilities for production in Poland. The company establishes its first factory in Łask in the heart of Poland.

In 1987, Elstock moves from Rudkøbing to Silkeborg, which is a more central location in Denmark. The move was a great success, and most of the company's employees chose to follow the company.

The increased demand for repairs of starters and alternators means that Søren Toft-Jensen in 1984 starts a dedicated remanufacturing production of starters and alternators. This production site is established in Rudkøbing, Denmark.

Elstock A/S was founded. The company was located in Rudkøbing, Denmark.  

Søren Toft Jensen established the electro mechanic workshop; Toft-Jensen Elektro ApS. In the beginning, the workshop did all types of repairs but an increase in repairs of starters and alternators shed light on the possibilities for these two product groups.
