Nilfisk 1910-2010:

With 2000 Danish Kroner and a lathe P.A. Fisker started his farsighted production in a backyard workshop in 1906. Nilfisk was founded on Fisker's highly detailed designs for small electric motors, and in 1910 he patented the first electrical vacuum cleaner in Europe, in a time where the television is unheard of, and radio transmission is still in its infancy. The Nilfisk vacuum cleaner C1 is the first machine in Europe that can be operated by one person. It weighed a 'mere' 17.5 kilograms. At the time, other machines were huge in comparison, requiring 4 or more operators. Often, the machine was situated outside the house with the hose dragged in through the window.

The Nilfisk vacuum cleaner is in great demand, and exports began as early as 1911. In 1914 the first sales offices opened in Germany and Great Britain. Nilfisk then launched a new vacuum cleaner in 1922 and exports continued to boom…..
