Firmaet MS Engineering A/S blev oprettet ved årsskiftet 2000/2001 som ingeniørfirma (deraf navnet) baseret på Morten Sandvejs erfaringer fra værfter og rådgivende ingeniørvirksomheder.
After a couple of years, the opportunity arose to buy the agency company SL Consultant from Tom Slaaby. He was a ship engineer at the Aalborg shipyard at the time and when it closed, he started trading in various machine components for ships. He gradually amassed a good handful of solid agencies, with a focus on box coolers and tube coolers.
At a random meeting at the Danfish exhibition, a loose agreement was made about a possible takeover at a later date, with MS exclaiming, ”You’re a ship engineer and sell machine components; that’s supposed to be me as a mechanical engineer!” Tom Slaaby remembered this when, a few years later, he decided to sell the business.
After the acquisition of the agency business, the engineering business was gradually phased out over a few years, as sales grew to a level that could provide an appropriate return.
Until spring 2025, when MS meets Jack Hansen aboard an Ærøferge that docked in Svendborg, MS Engineering A/S has grown to become a stable and reliable supplier to the maritime sector in Denmark. This includes workshops, shipyards, and all types and sizes of shipowners. New agencies have come in and old ones have gone out.
“We always have the heart involved in what we do, and mostly the brain as well!”
From spring 2025 until the turn of the year 2025/2026, discussions and exchanges of information took place for the use of a written agreement that Jesper Grandjean and Jack Hansen were to take over MS Engineering A/S at this year’s turn of the year. Both have education and extensive experience in the maritime sector, with ships and shipbuilding, so it quickly became clear that this was the perfect match. Likewise, the ideas about how the business should be run were based on fairness and reasonableness, which coincided with each other.
Fra 1. januar 2026 overtog Jesper Grandjean og Jack Hansen MS Engineering A/S, med Morten Sandvejs på sidelinjen som en værdifuld konsulent. Det har sikret en stærk overdragelse, hvor erfaring og historik er blevet videreformidlet, og giver et fortsat solidt fundament i fremtiden.
