The one million mark
In 1954, the total number of Nilfisk Vacuum cleaners produced passes the one million mark. Most of them are still in use at this time, which speaks volumes of their quality.
One of the million machines is this one used in the Copenhagen Zoo. |
Toxic moths vacuumed up
Our machines are used to vacuum up dangerous moths from a park in England. The hairs from these moths are toxic and cause serious irritation to the skin, eyes and bronchial tubes of both humans and animals.
The moth poses a significant human health risk when populations reach outbreak proportions. |

Putting quality to the test
The founder P.A. Fisker was very dedicated to quality and made a simple test. New models were taken to his office on the 2nd floor and thrown out the window. If any part on the machine failed this test, the engineers were sent back for a redesign. |

Nilfisk - the life saver
Early Sunday morning September 13, 1987. The Royal Norwegian Airforce was flying over the Barents Sea on a NATO surveillance mission. A Soviet jet fighter were following them so closely, that the planes eventually collided.
One of the Norwegian planes propellers were clipped in the mid-air clashed and subsequently cut through the plane, making a 30 centimeters big hole. If it hadn't been for a Nilfisk GAD 70 model, standing in a cupboard and stopping the propeller, the crew would have surely died. |
