History

Our people are every bit as strong as our history.
In 1944, the village of Tange near Viborg became home to a new type of company: Tange Specialværksted. This 'special workshop' specialized in the repair of horseshoes and reaper-binders  and listened exactly to what their customers were asking for. In other words, developments in the agricultural world influenced the development of the workshop - and vice versa.

Before long, the workshop was servicing most of the surrounding area, repairing everything from bridles to sewer cleaners, the latter of which gave rise to the first liquid ring vacuum pumps. Demand for this new type of pump grew quickly as new applications were found.

In 1950 the company was renamed Maskinfabriken Samson. Soon, development of the first muck spreaders and vacuum tankers were to prove that Fabriken Samson was here to stay.

To keep up with increasing mechanization in the world of agriculture, the factory expanded significantly during the following years. These technological developments made the life of the average farmer much easier and far more effective.
In 1965, we established our first vacuum division. Since that point, we have focused on producing the world's best vacuum pump.

Today, we help customers not only within agriculture, but also across a range of industries, such as offshore, fishing, food, process and waste management. As the only company to focus solely on the production of liquid vacuum ring pumps, we have a wealth of expertise and know-how at our disposal. We therefore don't compete on price. Instead, we set the bar for quality and reliability that saves money in the long term and gives peace of mind throughout the life of the pump.

Every one of our pumps undergoes constant development. Time and again our products are acclaimed both at home and abroad for their performance and reliability. Ambition, investment and potential are just part of the reason for our success. None of what we have achieved would have been possible without the right mix of talented employees.

We know our customers and we know their challenges. We therefore develop strong solutions that meet their requirements. Today, tomorrow and into the future.
