A modern and responsible manufacturing company
With continuous investments in sustainability initiatives, the iron foundry has managed to remain an integral part of the original address on Søndergade in Vejen, while at the same time developing into a modern and responsible production company.
Today, ULDALL employs approximately 60 people and produces more than 1,400 tonnes of cast iron annually. The company is a major player in the industry, driven by the dedication of its "real iron men".

1980'erne
Generational
Magnus Uldall handed over the baton to his son, Jens Aage Uldall, who continued to develop the company with his education as a hand shaper and mechanical engineer. Under his leadership, it became Denmark's largest hand-shaping company.
1960'erne
Urban development and expansion
In the 1960s, the city limits were approaching the factory, and despite its original location in a rural zone, ULDALL continued its expansion and growth.
1949
New technology and development
The installation of a new dome furnace in 1949 marked a technological upgrade that allowed iron to be melted, strengthening the factory's position and focus on iron casting.

1944
The founding of Vejen Metalvarefabrik
Magnus Uldall, a true iron man, founded Vejen Metalvarefabrik with permission to collect destroyed war material for recycling. This wealth of initiative led to the establishment of the factory and foundry, which later grew large and later became an iron foundry.
