BERNSTEIN Denmark celebrates its 30th anniversary, and Product Manager John Drachmann joins in the celebration.

Porta Westfalica/Risskov, October 2025
BERNSTEIN Denmark celebrates its 30th anniversary, and Product Manager John Drachmann joins in the celebration. He has been part of the success story from the start. On 1 October, it will be exactly 30 years since the now 71 year old first opened the door to the new branch.

“BERNSTEIN is much more than just a workplace for me – it feels like a second home,” says Drachmann with a smile. “We have countless exciting tasks, and I have always had the chance to work with great people. That combination makes every day special.”

Pioneering start with fax machine and telephone
The first steps were anything but ordinary: the “office” was initially located in the living room of then Managing Director Torben Hjorth in Galten. “We had a fax, a telephone and plenty of ideas,” Drachmann recalls. A few months later, the small team moved to today’s office in Risskov. Entering the Danish market was a real challenge – but that was exactly what appealed to him. “Experiencing how BERNSTEIN established itself here from the very beginning was incredibly exciting. Today we are a recognised name in the industry – I’m proud of that,” says Drachmann.

Technology that inspires – projects that last
Whether wind turbines, climate control systems for hospitals or sensors for the dental industry: over three decades, John Drachmann has managed countless projects. “This variety still keeps me on my toes – both mentally and emotionally,” he says.
Trained as a radio technician, Drachmann found his professional home at BERNSTEIN and witnessed technological change first hand. “Back then, a fax was state of the art. Today we develop digital safety solutions used worldwide – an exciting journey!”

Anniversary in a family atmosphere
When the team in Risskov celebrates John’s 30th anniversary, one thing will take centre stage: the person behind the technology. For him, it is above all his colleagues who make the difference. “We are like a small family here. That is exactly what motivates me every single day,” he emphasises.
