A history of growth and transformation

In 1953, Ove Wrist founded his ship chandler company in Aalborg, Denmark. Starting with a small storeroom and a moped, he supplied local coasters before expanding to vessels across Denmark, Scandinavia, the UK and continental Europe.

From a small ship chandler in Aalborg, Wrist has grown steadily through expansions and acquisitions to become the leading ship and offshore supplier of marine provisions and stores.
