History

The brothers Kristen and Kjeld Skov started on the farm of ?stergaard, ?sted in Northern Salling in 1954. In those days the farm had a large stock of cattle and pigs, but in the mid 60's they went over to broiler production and in this connection the first complete ventilation systems were developed. First with inlets of cast iron and compressed-air cylinders for automation.
Like this the sale of ventilation systems started already in 1966 for poultry houses as well as pig houses. The development of the ventilation department started parallel with a large extension of the poultry production and the starting of a new feed mill.
The number of activities led to the decision of building a new factory in Glyng?re. In 1979 a staff of 8 men moved into the new premises.
Through many stages of development as regards products and company, SKOV developed into the firm we know today. Today SKOV is a company in a large international concern which bought the company from Mr. Kjeld Skov and SKOV Holding A/S in July 1993.

We strive to win this trust not just once, but in all our dealings with our customers - right from the initial contact with the consultant to after-sales service on installed systems.

Complete ventilation systems

For people as well as animals, the indoor climate and fresh air is significant for our physical well-being. The concept of well-being is generally regarded alike for both people and animals, so a general guideline for ventilation could be that if the climate in the livestock house feels comfortable to a human being, the same would be the case for the animals.
Ventilation has the following purposes:
• To keep the temperature and humidity of the house air at the ideal level for the animal in question. This means removal of the excess humidity and heat production from the animals.
• To create an air exchange in the house so that the animals have always fresh air. The stocking density is high in modern livestock houses. This makes special demands on the ventilation system, which should ensure a high air exchange and at the same time avoid causing draught nuisance for the animals.
• To ensure optimum production results. Many factors influence the well-being and growth of the animals, but no doubt the climate plays a significant part.
• To ensure the animals a proper life as the modern consumer demands, and to protect the animals from suffering harm caused by power failure or other malfunctions.
SKOV offer a range of different ventilation systems which we have developed on the basis of the above principles. SKOV supply complete systems where the individual components are mutually optimized. Each of these systems is optimized with due consideration of the climatic conditions, geographical and cultural variations in constructional form, and the kind of animals that should benefit from the ventilation.

Solutions based on the customer's needs

The development of system and components starts with the close and daily contact to farmers and cooperation partners all over the world. This way we get many ideas and impressions, which are converted to competitive systems and components.
This attitude to innovation derives from the very outset of the company when SKOV was founded by two farmers. They demanded better climate solutions than the market could offer and thus they started to develop their own systems.
SKOV are known as system supplier in the whole world and we make great efforts to develop solutions in which the components are optimized in relation to the system.
