Company History

Our Storied Company History

Soenderjyllands Maskinfabrik (SM) was founded in the end of the 1940s and was owned by the utility, Soenderjyllands Hoejspaendingsvaerk, until 1998 (now Dong Energy). In the beginning, it was a service workshop for the utilities, with in-house production of steel constructions for use in power plants and production of transmission towers. Through the years, SM gained experience in other industries and developed competencies in material handling systems, process equipment, and complex steel structures for larger constructions.
1940 - 1969
Sonderjyllands Maskinfabrik established at Aabenraa harbor (DK) in the end of the 1940's and in 1969 relocated to current location at Vaerksvej (DK).
1990's
DS SM started selling to the oil & gas industry in Norway in the middle of the 1990s. Since then, the industry has grown, and Norwegian-based companies have been acquired by global oil & gas suppliers, resulting in DS SM now supplying globally.
1998
DS Gruppen acquired Soenderjyllands Maskinfabrik in 1998 and named the company DS SM. At the time, DS Gruppen owned ABC Coating in Roedekro where the company handled coating of wind turbine towers for Micon (now Vestas). The acquisition enabled DS Gruppen to start black steel production of wind turbine towers. The first wind turbine tower production line was ready for use in 1998.
2000
Capacity was expanded with a second line in 2000 and a third in 2002. It also had close connections with the energy sector and continued to deliver steel constructions to utilities.
2007
DS SM expanded its wind turbine tower production capacity in 2007 and 2008 with a state-of-the-art wind turbine tower coating facility based on fully-automated robot technology. In 2007, two black steel production lines for towers with diameters of up to 6,5 meters were established.
2010
DS SM starts manufacturing direct-drive generator rotor house.
2014
In 2014 the company was acquired by Valmont Industries, Inc.
