Originally, Johannes Pedersen was a bus driver, but in 1965 he started using all his spare time producing rubber mounts for cars, rubber hammers and ashtrays. This gave him the financial possibility to invest in tools and machines for the production of spare parts for his biggest interest: cars. Johannes Pedersen died in 1992, 63 years old. Since then JP Group a/s has grown to a well-established and strongly consolidated business with activities worldwide and premises of a total size of 42,000 m2.
Martin Pedersen, the CEO of JP Group Holding a/s, was born in Viborg on the 5th August 1958 and has been the owner of the company since 1992, when he took over from his father, Johannes Pedersen.
