The History of Elwis
- Elwis was founded in 1938 when Mogens Wilsbech and Peter Jakob Stubbæk founded the company. The origin of the name itself comes from a combination of the founders’ surnames WI and S, where the EL part comes from the word “electric”.
- In 1953, Mogens Wilsbech successfully manufactured the world’s very first functional fluorescent hand lamp.
- In 1965, Elwis entered into a partnership with Dana Corporation from the United States, and with the help of their unique machinery, Elwis was able to further innovate its products, as well as cement its status among the leaders in the industry.
- In 1985, an arson fire damaged the company’s premises at Sandtoften in Gentofte, which burned to the ground. The damages were immense, with material damage worth approximately 10 million DKK. Subsequently, the factory was rebuilt, and it is the same premises that today house the company’s headquarters in Gentofte.
- The Lighting division was established in 2001 as an independent division within the company. The purpose was to create a division that works exclusively with the development and sale of COB, SMD, and LED lamps. The company has been run by Peter Lottrup since 2003.
- Peter’s father and predecessor Ole Lottrup founded the company, Elwis Royal, in 1986, which is a sister company to Lighting. He said at the time “Our products are a combination of solutions, wherein human innovation and technological precision elevates each other”.
- The elements of innovation and technological precision are paramount today, where we do our utmost to live up to the legacy and identity that was Ole’s vision.
