Scandinavian Business Awards 2026

5. Steel Construction Company 2026 – Denmark "Our company is based on freedom with responsibility. We are very proud of that. We deliver on time and are on the same wavelength by helping one another." However, this is not the only thing that sets this family-run business apart. As Michael explained: “Stantek stands out from its competitors because it is always open to dialogue, takes on any challenge, and runs a hands-on operation.” He continued: “As the owner of the business, I always keep my finger on the pulse and am actively involved in the projects. This approach also applies to our staff, who always welcome customers and guide them in the right direction. Stantek is with both you and your project from start to finish." In a world where this market is becoming increasingly pressured, driven by factors such as corporate mergers, it is an advantage to have a partner that is small and can pivot quickly; this is highly beneficial for those seeking the best possible service. A small company that not only specialises and establishes a firm foothold in one area, as Stantek has done within steel construction, but also adds value as a subcontractor and trendsetter. This is evident in its design of sustainable solutions, which help their clients literally build the future. Stantek’s location in Scandinavia is yet another advantage that Michael and the team are capitalising on. Thanks to the region’s economic stability, reliable supply chains and abundance of work. The latter is particularly prevalent in Denmark, where building and construction work is a high priority, primarily in areas such as roads, railways and property renovation. As a result, Michael is looking forward to the next steps for Stantek, a company whose 46th year of operation is expected to focus on development and optimisation. Although specific projects are still under wraps, Michael shared: "I am very optimistic about 2026, despite all the turmoil we are seeing across most of the world right now. For companies that want to succeed, it is important to adapt to the reality on the ground and stay calm, and that is exactly what we are doing.” Michael certainly knows what he is talking about, as Stantek has weathered everything from crises and recoveries to a global pandemic. Since they reopened their doors following the pandemic, the world has simply kept on moving. Finally, referring to Stantek ApS’s recognition in this programme, Michael told us: “Stantek ApS is a small company with great potential. We have remained adaptable to new tasks and are always solution-oriented. When it comes to the design phase, we have great flexibility and are happy to take on urgent tasks alongside other work, and we take pride in delivering products on time and without errors." It is this unique combination that has earned this prestigious recognition as Steel Construction Company 2026 – Denmark.
