BROEN was born
from a good idea
Poul Broen, the founder of BROEN,
was a creative and visionary
entrepreneur. His ideas created the
foundation for BROEN and set the
standard for a whole industry.
Poul Broen worked as an engineer
at Frederiksberg public swimming
pool in Denmark where he noticed
the huge waste of water whenever
patrons showered. So he developed
the PARCEO shower automat that
efficiently delivered the right
amount of warm water.
After the Second World War,
everyone was forced to make
savings wherever possible. Poul
Broen therefore invented a shut-off
flushing valve. An efficient invention
still used today in every toilet. This
led to the development of a range
of sanitary fittings and taps in the
1950s, including BROEN BOSS and
the BROEN BALLOFIX® ball valve.
Poul Broen’s vision went beyond
product development. He included
his staff in his thinking. By the 1960s,
BROEN had already introduced job
rotation to ensure flexibility and
competency development and to
make jobs varied and interesting.
60 years of intelligent solutions
In 1948, Poul Broen established
Nordisk Armatur in a rented cellar.
BROEN grew into an established
industrial company with strong
brands. Knowledge and experience
were used in new ways, resulting
in new initiatives such as LAB and
Emergency Shower Systems.
BROEN was one of the pioneers
when district heating took off
in Denmark in the 1970s. This
pioneering spirit and vision still
exists at BROEN today. BROEN is also
an innovative and value-adding
partner and continually develops
and improves products that use
nature’s resources as efficiently as
possible.
Poul Broen laid the foundation for BROEN in
1948, and his entrepreneurial spirit and creativity
permeates throughout the company to this day.
Poul Broen developed the PARCEO
automatic shower in 1950.
