For more than 40 years, we have worked to deliver the best remanufactured OE-certified automotive parts for the European aftermarket. Today we are one of Europe's largest, most skilled and most experienced companies in the automotive parts remanufacturing industry.
BORG Automotive was originally founded in 1975 under the name of Toft-Jensen Elektro ApS by Søren Toft-Jensen. At the age of only 25 years, Søren Toft-Jensen started his own electrical workshop in Rudkøbing, Denmark. In the beginning, the workshop did general auto electrical repairs, but it soon became clear that there was a growing market for remanufacturing starters and alternators, and this could create new opportunities for the company. Therefore, Søren Toft Jensen in 1979 founded the company Elstock, which is one of BORG Automotive’s attractive brands today. BORG Automotive has experienced a rapid growth since 1975, and today the company is a workplace for more than 1,500 ambitious colleagues in Denmark, England, Poland,Belgium, and Spain; all working together to provide the best customer experience in remanufactured automotive solutions.

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.

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.
