History

Jensen-Group NV started as a repair shop for dairy equipment in 1937, when it was founded by Ejnar Jensen on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, Denmark. In 1954, Ejnar Jensen's son Jørn Munch Jensen took over the leadership of the company.
In 1960, the first folding machine developed by Jensen was installed at Bornholm Laundry. In 1970, the company introduced the Jenstack, the first stacker ever during the era.

Between 2015 and 2016, Jensen expanded its product portfolio with newer machines.
In 2020, the company experienced a slowdown in activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
but resumed normal operations in 2023 and beyond.
