IKEA not recalling ‘dangerous’ dresser Denmark
IKEA US is pulling a dresser off the market due to a risk it could tip over and fall on children. Falling IKEA dressers have resulted in the deaths of three children in the US since the start of 2014. Although IKEA has decided to recall 27 million pieces in the US, IKEA in Denmark has decided to not follow suit. “We will not recall the dressers in Denmark. Our products comply with all mandatory safety requirements,” said Markus Ekewald, a sales manager at IKEA Denmark.
French company buys Danish HVAC company
The French company Aldes has acquired the Danish heat recovery ventilation company Exhausto. The Aldes group will acquire 100 percent of Exhausto, which has plants in Denmark and Norway. Exhausto is particularly active in northern Europe – principally in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. They are also strong in Germany. Aldes is an international family-owned group with more than 1,300 employees spanning 13 countries.
Turkish airline starts new service between Istanbul and Copenhagen
The Istanbul-based airline Atlasglobal has started a service between Istanbul’s Atatürk airport and Kastrup. The route will be served by the airline six times a week using its A320 fleet. The route will compete with Turkish Airlines, which operates a thrice-daily operation between the two cities. Copenhagen becomes the ninth western European destination for Atlasglobal.
Vestas shifting offices in Copenhagen
Vestas has outgrown is current office space on Hedegårdsvej in Copenhagen, so the company will move its 200 employees to a new location at the recently finished Copenhagen Towers office complex. Employees at the new offices will not be given permanent desks or offices in most cases. Vestas spokesperson Christian Buhl Gregersen said that employees will be engaging in a “new way of working” without fixed seats and instead will work where it makes the most sense on any given day.
