CASES

OJD Trading
OJD Trading was founded in 1971 by Otto Johs. Detlefs. Given his background in trading semimanufactured products made of steel and non-ferrous metals, Otto Johs. Detlefs' idea was to become a subsupplier to Danish industry of such products.

The company
Parallel to establishing the company as a sub-supplier to the industrial sector and in order to ensure quick turnover and profit - hence the brand name QUICK - brake and clutch companies in Denmark were visited with the aim of selling copper tubes in boxes. Working from his parents' cellar, this marked the beginning of the company's brake department. Subsequently the product range was rapidly expanded to embrace fittings for tubes, bleeder screws, pins and springs for disc brakes.

In 1974 the company moved into new premises in Solrød, and a period of rapid expansion throughout the 1980s and continued modernisation since means that today the company occupies premises totalling 5,500 m2.
