When Captain A.N. Petersen came ashore in 1920 and founded the company bearing his name, he was regarded as a forerunner. His skill and diligence formed the background upon which the company was built and prospered. He was also able to create a unique company spirit, of which we are proud. Captain A.N. Petersen's influence and contribution to the company's success has continued since his death in 1941. We are proud that a number of the people working with A.N. Petersen have been serving the company for many years. We are equally proud to have young enthusiastic people joining and staying with us, thereby ensuring the future of the company. In the early years A.N. Petersen enjoyed a close association with A/S Det Dansk-Franske Dampskibsselskab, as well as being managing owners for several Danish shipping companies. Our competitive chartering also formed an important part of the company's activities in the early days. However, like other professions, shipping often and rapidly changes patterns and in 1979 the brokers of the company took over the ownership. A.N. Petersen then became a wholly independent competitive shipbrokering company enjoying the experience of the past, progressive ideas of the present, and belief in the future.

The AVECS Corporation AG is a software company developing quality & safety management software for the marine industry in accordance with ISO 9001. The company was founded in 1994 as a two-man company based in Potsdam. The ever-increasing rate of accidents at sea and falling safety standards gave Captain Hans-Werner Schleiter the idea to try and change this situation by developing specialised safety software. The concept was based on the then new international legislation (ISM - International Safety Management Code), introduced to improve safety onboard ships worldwide. During the development of the system, experts from maritime industry, nautical universities and software ergonomics were involved. Test installations onboard ensured that the functionality required by users was available in a user-friendly interface. The AVECS Corporation currently employs around 50 people, some of whom with extensive seagoing experience.

When 20-year-old Danish blacksmith Vilhelm Petersen sailed into Boston Harbor, little did he know that his journey would lead to the establishment of American Tool Companies, Inc. In 1902, "Bill" Petersen settled in Minden, Nebraska, where he worked for a fellow Danish blacksmith, keeping horses shod, plow shares sharpened and wagons repaired. Bill Petersen was an inventor at heart. With the introduction of the automobile and farm tractor, blacksmithing was on the decline. During the long Nebraska winters, Petersen experimented with his ideas. In 1921, he invented and patented a unique wrench with a "vise-like" grip. By 1924, Petersen had refined his invention by adding a locking lever. He patented the enhanced tool and gave it an innovative name that would become world famous: VISE-GRIP® locking pliers. He registered the distinctive clasped hands logo, a symbol that today represents the most recognized hand tool brand in the world. American Tool Companies, Inc., led by Allen Petersen, the founder’s grandson, has evolved into a leading global manufacturer and marketer of hand tools, cutting tools and power tool accessories. The company has more than 4,400 employees and manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe, Brazil, and the Pacific Rim. Today, its product lines include VISE-GRIP locking pliers, clamps and wrenches, IRWIN® wood boring and cutting tools, QUICK-GRIP® clamping products, RECORD® hand tools, MARPLES® woodworking tools, JACK® hand saws, POWERPRESS® pipe clamps, TURBOMAX® drill bits, PROSNIP® snips, MARATHON® and SPRINT® saw blades, UNIBIT® step drills, HANSON® taps, dies and drills, CHESCO® hex tools, SPEEDBOR® wood boring bits, and STRAIT-LINE® marking tools. Quite a dramatic change from the day a young Danish immigrant traveled to America and established his place in history.
