110 years celebrated

The Nilfisk team at Penrith celebrated the companies’ 110 year anniversary with a visit from Anders Terkildsen, Executive Vice President of the Nilfisk Group. The head office team celebrated with a toast to the company’s success and birthday cake.

Nilfisk was founded in 1906 by a young Danish Engineer called Peder Anderson Fisker. Fisker was a trained electrical engineer who loved motors. From a small backyard workshop in Copenhagen he started to produce motors to power coffee grinders, machine tools, fans and drills.

The breakthrough came in 1910 when Fisker patented his first vacuum cleaner, the Nilfisk C1. At a time when vacuum cleaners had to be operated by multiple people the C1 weighed in at only 17.5 kilos and was a revolution.
