75 years of curiosity and innovation
“There is always a better solution”
Ever since our founder Olaf Kamstrup started as a self-employed precision engineer in 1946, the company has been driven by his mantra that “There is always a better solution”. His interest in developing new technology and his ability to make courageous decisions has made us curious and innovative in everything we do.
Launching our first meters
In 1959 we launched our first energy meters for district heating, the calorimeters. This marked the beginning of our heating business and provided a solid foundation for our future. Building on our experience and innovative efforts we were able to introduce the first MULTICAL® heat meter in 1984, implementing microprocessors and LCD display for the first time. This changed Kamstrup’s market position over the following years.
The ultrasonic shift
A combination of courage and persistence culminated in 1991 where we launched our very own highly remarkable ultrasonic heat/cooling meter ULTRAFLOW®. The ultrasonic technology was a paradigm shift for Kamstrup, but the willingness to change course dramatically changed our position in the heating market. ULTRAFLOW ® became one of the most significant products to set the direction for our future.
Exploring new businesses
The business continued to expand and by 1995 Kamstrup had outgrown office and production locations, and moved to Stilling. Here we took even larger steps in our development. We launched our first electricity meter in 1998 and entered an entirely new area of business in 2010 by introducing the intelligent water meter MULTICAL® 21. With an ambition to become market leader, Kamstrup advanced the water meters and introduced built-in acoustic leak detection in 2019 and showed our continuous willingness to disrupt the market.
