Quality and innovation
Since 1998, Door System has developed, manufactured and installed doors and gates for European industrial companies.
Our philosophy has always been to manufacture door solutions of the very best quality.
This also means, our solutions are not always the cheapest. Door System remains convinced that a high degree of operational reliability, great energy savings and low maintenance costs make our doors a sound investment when it comes to the overall operational life of the doors.
Co-operation with the end customers
Our close co-operation with the end customers is a high priority for us. After all, they are the users of our solutions. To solve a problem for a customer adds value to our company.
Our own factory in Denmark
We develop and manufacture all doors and gates at our factory in Denmark. Benefiting from many years of experience, a wealth of knowledge and insight, our staff is one of the most important reasons for our high quality and innovative solutions.

Door System reinforces the organisation
Our three new team members: Project coordinator Susanne Nguyen, sustainability project coordinator Anna Kaastrup Winther, and service manager Flemming Kirkegaard.
Door System is continuing positive progress and is expanding the organisation. We have established an independent service department and created a new project department, and have brought in new team members, to support these new initiatives.
Our service and installation department has grown significantly in recent years and has now been divided into installation and service. Flemming Kirkegaard is the newly appointed service manager. Flemming originally started as a technician and has worked several years in customer service, most recently as a technical manager in the machine manufacturing industry. At Door System, Flemming Kirkegaard will be responsible for the development of a robust service organisation that will manage both mandatory service inspections as well as general maintenance and repairs.
Door System has established a project department to manage our door deliveries for large-scale projects. We have brought on board Susanne Nguyen as new project coordinator. She brings extensive experience and skills in internal sales, customer support, and project management. For the past several years, Susanne has worked in technical sales within the industrial sector. At Door System, Susanne will, together with the rest of the project team, coordinate and accelerate progress on large project orders.
As a maternity leave replacement, we have added Anna Kaastrup Winther to our team as a project coordinator for sustainability. Anna has an academic background in medicinal chemistry and a PhD in chemistry. She has a long-standing background from a major Danish retail chain with international operations. Initial focus on product safety, and thereafter shifting to sustainability, working as a sustainability specialist. At Door System, Anna will continue our efforts related to CO₂ documentation, LCA reports for several of our doors and gates, and ESG reporting.
We are excited to welcome Flemming, Susanne and Anna.
Door System changes ownership
Door System manufactures all its doors at its factory in Hørning.
Preben Søndergaard started Door System in 1998.
Our owner-manager Preben Søndergaard, who founded Door System in 1998, has decided it is time to pass the company on. He has been working to find the right successor through a long process. The new owners are ASSA ABLOY, who will continue to operate Door System under the current name and utilise the strong brand that the company has built over many years.
“Eva and I have always known that there will come a time when we need to pass the company on, and we believe that now is the right time. Door System is in a fantastic place today, and we have experienced substantial growth for several years. We want to prepare the company for the future, and we believe this can happen with the new owners. With ASSA ABLOY behind us, we have a strong foundation and new opportunities to build on the extremely positive development we have experienced in recent years,” says Preben Søndergaard.
Door System develops, manufactures and installs doors for the food, pharmaceutical and retail industries. Development and production take place at our factory in Hørning. In 2024, Door System had a turnover of approximately DKK 125 million and currently employs around 80 people.
We have a strong product and extensive know-how in the areas in which we operate. Our door solutions have a particular focus on hygiene, durability and fire safety. We have invested significant resources in developing and testing fire door solutions and supplying fire doors according to European fire requirements, and we have extensive knowledge in fire safety.
ASSA ABLOY takes full ownership of Door System. Door System’s doors will continue to be manufactured at the factory in Hørning. Preben Søndergaard will continue as CEO of the company, and it is the same team at Door System with the same dedicated employees that you will work with on your door solutions.
“Of course, it’s a very difficult decision to hand over your ‘child’, but the timing is right. We have had excellent talks with ASSA ABLOY and believe they are the right owners to take Door System to the next level,” says Preben Søndergaard.
The transaction is subject to approval by the competition authorities.

The climate accounts are part of our documentation.
Climate accounts and LCA report – documentation of our environmental impacts
At Door System, we are aware of the responsibility we bear towards the climate as a result of the environmental impacts that our products and the production of doors and gates create. We work determinedly to map our CO2 emissions and document our environmental impact. We have reached out to our suppliers to get accurate data on their specific products. Similarly, we have worked to document our own production consumption.

Quality pays
Door System develops all solutions based on the same philosophy: quality pays in the long run – both for our customers and for us. We make a living by selling door solutions – not spare parts.
Experienced employees
In order to realise our philosophy, we have chosen not to follow the trend, and we have joined our production and development under one roof in Denmark. Our employees are hand-picked, innovative and very experienced. They focus on doing everything a little bit better, minimising error and reducing maintenance costs.
Easier and smarter
Door System benefits from more than 25 years of experience manufacturing steel doors and gates and, we have a genuine interest in making things easy and smart. Therefore, you can be confident that we have the right base on which to build your solution. One customer’s problems are often similar to another customer’s problems. Therefore, the Door System motto is “standardising uniqueness”.
