Ownership

J. Lauritzen A/S is 100% owned by JL Fondet (the JL Foundation).

The JL Foundation was established in 1945 by the late ship-owners Ivar and Knud Lauritzen, together with their sister Anna Lønberg-Holm, to mark the 50th anniversary of the parent company, Vesterhavet A/S. The principal objective was to secure that companies within the Group could remain independent companies with their own identities.

Apart from being an operating foundation engaged in maritime activities, the JL Foundation is also recognised for its cultural and humanitarian engagement. For more information – currently available in Danish only – please click on the link below.
