History

The seaweed harvested in the Limfjord was also sold to other companies. The company moved into furniture production in 1910. In 1949, it launched a collaboration with Hans Wegner. The furniture factory grew to become the largest employer in the small town of Gedsted with a work force of around 100. The name of the company was changed to Getama in 1953.

Designers

Getama produced furniture designed by designers such as Hans Wegner, Nanna Ditzel and Mogens Koch.
