Mr Aage Hempel died in 1983 and his wife ran the business for 2 years until she
also died. They had one son but actually willed the company to a Danish
foundation (a charity).In 1992 and under some pressure from Maersk, Aage
HempelSpain was opened with a small office in Algeciras.The present General
Manager joined as a technician in 1993 and over the years along with the whole
team inSpain has built the company into what it is today. Aage Hempel Spain was
purely a service company which enabled us to successfully acquire many service
agreements with most of the major Marine Electronic Manufacturers. In 2008 this
changed due to much pressure from ship owners and Manufacturers alike and we
formed a Sales department which is growing very steadily. In 1999 there was a
Managementbuy out and the 2 new owners steadily grew the company until in
2008 it was sold to thepresent owners who are the Arbulu Group, a company
also involved in the Marine ElectronicsIndustry in Spain.
