Peter Wessel Tordenskjold (1691-1720) was a well-known naval officer who took part in many successful battles against the Swedish Navy while serving in the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy. In the early 20th century, Swedish match exports posed a serious threat to the Danish match industry. The wife of a Danish match factory manager therefore suggested Tordenskjold as a new brand name, because the original Tordenskjold had successfully defeated the Swedes.
Our aim is to always produce a match that is safe, reliable and environmentally sound. Our consumers deserve high-quality matches that cannot self-ignite, do not break easily or lose bits of their head on the striking strip.
Our matches are subject to higher requirements than the European standard (EN 1783:1997), and our testing and analysis methods are more complex. Compliance with this standard ensures both distributors and consumers that our matches meet strict quality requirements. The MATCHTEK® standard is a guarantee for safe and reliable matches that are also environmentally sound.
