Hundested Propeller A/S

Hundested Propeller is a Danish company based on the island of Zealand, not far from the Danish capital of Copenhagen. Founded in 1921, it was originally called Jørgensen & Højsgaard Engineering Company. Today we are known as Hundested Propeller A/S. In the beginning Hundested Propeller carried out repair and maintenance work on fishing vessel engines.

Later Hundested built its own engines, the first being a 22 HP diesel. Throughout the years the largest engine built was a three cylinder 400 HP model. With the increasing engine power the propellers had to be improved.

Hundested began to manufacture its own controllable pitch propellers, the product in which the company specializes in today. Controllable pitch propeller systems are now Hundested's core business.

In 1985 Hundested introduced their line of thrusters and more than 300 thrusters have been delivered in sizes from 25 to 1360 HP.

Hundested offers complete propeller nozzles, line shaft bearings, and flexible couplings. The propeller units can be approved by all major classification societies.
