Jørgen Løgstrup becomes a fully qualified electrician in Copenhagen.
Jørgen and his wife, Eva, raise funds to open a small electrical shop in Øster Farimagsgade 30 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Both Eva and Jørgen are busy in their new shop. While Eva creates beautiful lampshades and attends to the customers, Jørgen makes electric installations during the day and oil-fired heating systems in the evening.

Jørgen Løgstrup notices that increasing demand for switchboards results in prolonged delivery time. This sparks the idea of a modular system for switchboard manufacturing. In May 1958, Jørgen Løgstrup obtains his license to trade as a metalworker and founds the company Logstrup as we know it today.
As business is growing, it is time to find larger offices and production facilities.
Jørgen Løgstrup rents a 600 sqm old henhouse in Gurre, North Zealand where he is able to fit in sales offices, accounting and assembly. At this location, the first modular system sees the light of day. This allows Logstrup to design and build all types of switchboards from a standard range of parts.

The demand for the Logstrup Modular System is increasingly growing, as is the production.
To accommodate this, Logstrup builds a new 1500 sqm factory in Kvistgaard near Elsinore. The new factory is officially declared open on January 1st

The factory in Kvistgaard is enlarged to 3000 sqm, and the building contains manufacturing, warehousing and panel assembly.
Logstrup partly automate manufacturing by installing a roller forming process line for the framework parts and an in-line paint plant in order to meet the growing demand. The A-Module System and ISO-10 Busbar System is a reality.

Expansion of Logstrup production facilities in Kvistgaard.
In response to growing demand for our low-voltage switchboards, we completed two new 2,500 m² production halls in summer 2023. These facilities house a cutting-edge, 75-meter-long automated production line, partly powered by solar energy, featuring robots and advanced machinery for punching, bending, and sorting. The new line can process cladding to switchboards in less than 60 seconds – more than twice the speed of our previous systems.
On July 1, 2025, Løgstrup acquires 37000 sqm plot of land adjacent to our existing property.
This ensures that future company expansion and on-site traffic can take place entirely on our own land.
In the image, the existing property is highlighted in white, while the area marked in blue shows the plot we acquired on July 1.
