OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1980 by Niels Saaby Jørgensen, we are one of the first manufacturers of hand dryers on the market. In the early days, the product range was very limited offering only the classic AA and AE hand dryers. Both models are still popular and sold across the world.

The company developed successfully and with over 40 years in the trade, DAN DRYER has established a niche in the market and generated a loyal customer base that keeps returning any time they need washroom supplies.

In 2015 Susanne Eden becomes Managing Director, and she rolls out a new strategy for the company. Focus shall be not only on quality and functionality but also on product design and trendsetting in commercial toilet facility environments. 

The strategic change resulted in a strong design partnership with the Danish design duo, VE2, and the very same year the innovative product line, BJÖRK, was launched. 

The decision to focus on design as a core parameter paid off and the BJÖRK hand dryer was awarded the prestigious RED DOT DESIGN AWARD — also in 2015.

In 2018 Susanne and Vagn Eden take over DAN DRYER and the founder, Niels Saaby Jørgensen, said goodbye to his life’s work.

In 2024 DAN DRYER moved into a larger and new build HQ, still located in Randers, Denmark.
