Profits used on innovation

J.C.H. Ellehammer's business-minded son, Hans Ellehammer, and his wife, Edith, set up the J.C.H. Ellehammer Foundation in 1986. Since the foundation's two founders had no heirs, the foundation inherited from them when the longest-surviving owner of ELLEHAMMER Laboratorium A/S, Hans Ellehammer, died in 2004.

With the Ellehammer Foundation as its owner, the modern ELLEHAMMER has a high degree of independence as a company. The objectives of the foundation include the development of technical inventions and the support of projects for the public good. So ELLEHAMMER spends a lot of the profits from its business on innovation and product development. This means that ELLEHAMMER's current and future products and technology represent the most outstanding in the field.
