NKT's first address in 1891 was St. Kannikestræde 14, in the heart of Copenhagen. Just three years later, the company moved to a larger facility on Ryesgade, marking not only the start of its rapid growth, but also the dawn of an era in which electrification began to reshape modern society.
 

Since then, the company has relocated and opened new facilities several times and has developed into a global business with more than 6,000 employees and offices and production sites in over 16 countries.

Since 1944, Priorparken in Brøndby, Denmark, has been an important location for NKT. The industrial park is named after the founder, Hans Peter Prior, and the surrounding area has hosted the NKT headquarters for many years. Now, NKT is returning to a more central location in Copenhagen. From 5 January 2026, the new NKT headquarters address will be Amerika Plads 29, 2100 København Ø.

- Our company is growing and for some time, we have been exploring options for a new headquarters. We want to promote a versatile and thriving work environment for all and given the progress we have achieved in recent years, it became evident that we required additional space and enhanced working facilities for our colleagues based at the headquarters and those visiting from other sites. A key priority has also been to secure a location with improved public transport connections and accessibility, making it more convenient for both employees and visitors. I am pleased that we are now able to meet these needs with our new headquarters, says Claes Westerlind, CEO of NKT.

NKT's new headquarters is situated on the first and second floors of a contemporary office building at Amerika Plads. Designed by PLH Arkitekter, the building features a refined architectural profile, with a gently curved corner addressing Kalkbrænderihavnsgade. A central and open internal atrium spans the full height of the structure, constituting an inviting focal point of activity. Completed in 2017, the building holds an A-rated energy certification. Approximately 140 employees are based at the NKT headquarters.

NKT is not leaving Brøndby entirely, as the Danish part of the Service and Installation business line will remain located in Priorparken.
