Niels B. Christiansen Becomes President and Chief Executive Officer at Danfoss A/S

Jørgen M. Clausen Retires and Will Become Chairman

Danfoss A/S, a global leader in the development and production of mechanical and electronic components and systems, announced that effective today its president and CEO, Jorgen M. Clausen, has retired and that his successor, Niels B. Christiansen, has assumed these positions. Clausen will become chairman of the Denmark-based company after Danfoss’ Annual General Meeting in the spring of 2009, its Board of Directors said.

Christiansen joined the company in 2004 as its chief operating officer and a member of its executive committee. In May 2007, he earned a promotion to the position of vice-CEO.

“Niels will lead a young, dynamic team and I have great confidence in their collective ability to succeed and drive Danfoss forward,” Clausen said. “During his time at Danfoss, Niels has shown that he is highly capable of renewing our business while affirming the company’s values and history. As a socially responsible innovator in the manufacturing industry, we are committed to engineering technology that conserves energy and slows climate change, and this approach will not change at all.”

Christiansen will head the company’s Executive Committee, which consists of Executive Vice Presidents Kim Fausing (COO) and Frederik Lotz (CFO).

“I am excited about our opportunities and challenges that lie before us,” stated Christiansen. “We are completely focused on driving our business forward and meeting the needs of our customers in tackling global energy efficiency and conservation issues.”

Jorgen Clausen is the eldest son of Danfoss founder Mads Clausen, an engineer who established the company in 1933 in his parents’ attic in Nordborg, Denmark.

“Now is the best time for me to retire from the company’s day-to-day operations and concentrate on my directorships, which include both the chairmanship of Sauer-Danfoss and membership of the board of the Bitten and Mads Clausen Foundation, the charitable organization established by Danfoss’ founder and my father,” Jorgen Clausen concluded.

75 Years Of Energy Saving

Established in 1933 in a farmhouse at Nordborg, southern Denmark, Danfoss A/S has grown into a global world-leader with manufacturing and sales organisations throughout the world.

The Danfoss Group produces around 250,000 items per day from 61 factories in 25 countries.

Danfoss invented the Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) in 1943 and quickly became the world leader in sales of these controls, producing over half the world’s requirements. These and its many other products quickly established a reputation for top performance and reliability.

Danfoss’ technologies create quality of life for people all over the world. Clean water, heating and cooling are vital for our well-being.

Its products meet customers’ needs within areas as diverse as food preserving, productivity, energy-saving, environmental improvement and comfort. The resource-saving products are essential for the future of a world where there is an increasing focus on consideration for the environment and the scarce resources of nature.

Ever since the company’s foundation, regard for the individual, respect for nature and its values, and environmental and social responsibility have characterised the company and its activities. Today, with the Danfoss Group as a global industrial company, they continue to be the fundamental elements of its basic values – thanks to the Clausen family.

Core values on which Danfoss has always relied are:
- Trust
- Safe and reliable choice
- Passion about technology
- Global culture, local representation
- Environmental and social responsibility

The Danfoss Group has already provided a very fruitful and beneficial 75 years for the world’s population and it seems there is still much more to come.

The Danfoss Group: Jørgen M. Clausen to retire - Niels B. Christiansen to become new CEO

The Danfoss Group: Jørgen M. Clausen to retire - Niels B. Christiansen to become new CEO

The Danfoss Group’s President and CEO since 1996, Jørgen M. Clausen, has announced to the company Board that he wishes to retire from his position, with effect from October 1st, 2008.

The Board has taken note of Jørgen M. Clausen’s request and has appointed Niels B. Christiansen as new President and CEO, with effect from the same date.

This means that Jørgen M. Clausen will retire from his position as President and CEO a few days after his 60th birthday, which will be celebrated in Danfoss on September 23.

“I consider it to be the best time to retire from the company’s day-to-day operations and concentrate on my directorships, which include, not least, the chairmanship of Sauer-Danfoss and membership of the board of the Bitten and Mads Clausen Foundation,” says Jørgen M. Clausen.

"Since his appointment as President and CEO, Jørgen has increased Danfoss’ global presence substantially and he has played the pivotal role in a rather sensational expansion, which has seen Danfoss’ net sales, profits and its number of employees increase considerably,” points out the chairman of the Board, Henrik E. Nyegaard. Henrik E. Nyegaard also informed the Danfoss A/S Board that he will not offer himself for re-election at the company’s Annual General Meeting in the spring of 2009. Henrik E. Nyegaard says that the Board has decided to nominate Jørgen M. Clausen as new chairman when it elects its own chairman after the Annual General Meeting.

"I have had 14 fantastic years as Vice-chairman and Chairman, respectively, of Danfoss but I am rapidly approaching retirement age, so Jørgen has chosen the best time – from my point of view as well,” says Henrik E. Nyegaard.

New CEO set to head a young team
The new President and CEO, Niels B. Christiansen, joined Danfoss in 2004 as Chief Operating Officer and as a member of the Executive Committee. In May 2007, he was promoted to become the Vice-CEO. With effect from October 1, he will head the Executive Committee, which consists of the Executive Vice Presidents Kim Fausing (COO) and Frederik Lotz (CFO).

"It is a young and dynamic team that I have great expectations of and confidence in,” points out Jørgen M. Clausen, who adds that the Group’s Executive Committee will receive substantial support from the top-level management, which consists of the Presidents of the Group’s three divisions: Kjeld Stærk, Danfoss Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Division, Nis Storgaard, Danfoss Heating Division, and Sven Ruder, Danfoss Motions Controls Division.

”During his time at Danfoss, Niels has proved that he is capable of renewing our business and, at the same time, guaranteeing the company’s values and history. It is with complete peace of mind that I leave the responsibility for the day-to-day business and the continued development to him and his team,” says Jørgen M. Clausen, who invited Niels B. Christiansen to join Danfoss.

Danfoss is set to celebrate Jørgen M. Clausen’s 60th birthday and his retirement following 12 successful years as CEO on September 23. Danfoss Universe, the adventure park for nature and science, will be the focal point of the birthday celebrations and the reception – entirely in the spirit of Jørgen M. Clausen.
