History

Nilfisk-Advance A/S was founded in 1906 as P.A Fisker & Nielsen, the names of the two founders.

As early as 1909, the innovative P.A Fisker recognised the need for a modern, portable cleaning aid - and the Nilfisk vacuum cleaner came into being.

Since then, many developments have taken place: Nilfisk-Advance A/S has always made quality a top priority while keeping in step with times.

Today Nilfisk-Advance A/S is a modern and innovative company with sales in countries around the globe.
