The JP Group History
Jpgroup History Header

How it all started...

The family business was founded in 1975 by Johannes Pedersen - thus the "JP". Johannes Pedersen, a former bus driver who developed a passion for producing rubber bushes, hammers, and ashtrays for cars started it all in his basement in his home in Viborg. With the profits from his work, he invested in tools and machines to produce automotive spare parts. Since the foundation of the company with just two employees, it has come a long way.
