Did you know that Wrist Ship Supply was started in Aalborg by Ove Wrist in the early 1950's? After having worked many years for the ship chandler Axel Carlsen, Mr. Ove Wrist was urged by two good friends to start his own company - and so he did. In 1953, he rented a small store room in the port of Aalborg and during the first few years, he mainly supplied small coasters on his moped. As time went by, vessels from Finland and Sweden joined the list of customers as well. In 1960, he had four employees and moved into larger premises with room for a grocery shed, a tiny office and a small store room. Six years later, ship chandler Ove Wrist retired from the business. The company was turned into a limited company called Ove Wrist & Co. Ltd. At this point, the company had seven employees and the business delivered ship supplies to all Danish ports, covering all of Denmark.
