Try to imagine how it would be to clean your home after a big birthday party – without the aid of cleaning machines. Just put yourself back in time when upholstery and carpets had the dust beaten out of them by hand, and when brushes, brooms and cleaning cloths were state-of-the-art tools.
The founder of Nilfisk-Advance P.A.Fisker was trained as an electrical engineer and loved electrical motors. He founded his company in 1906 and started to produce motors to drive coffee grinders, machine tools, fans and drills. P.A. Fisker´s vision was from the beginning to have an international company selling goods to the whole world.
The real break through came when he invented a ground breaking vacuum cleaner weighing only 17,5 kilos which could be operated by only one person! In a time where other cleaning machines were huge and needing 4 or more operators, the Nilfisk C1 was definitely a revolution.
Still today, the genius behind these first cleaning machines is unquestioned. Cleaning machines remains a simply brilliant solution to an ongoing problem – things get dirty, and they need to be cleaned without too much trouble.
