BM Silo ApS

The company has developed a modular system for silos in galvanized and stainless steel, which enables a combination of tailor-made solutions and efficient production for customers in the food sector and the plastics industry. BM Silo thus helps to ensure longer shelf life and better utilization of natural resources such as grain and coffee.

At the same time, BM Silo is one of the leading companies among SMEs in Denmark when it comes to social responsibility. BM Silo has, among other things, won the CSR People Prize in 2021. A significant proportion of the 32 employees at BM Silo are thus previously exposed.

BM Silo has a gross profit of around DKK 22 million annually and was established in 1965.

Development

Den Sociale Kapitalfond Invest has bought 44% of the shares in BM Silo ApS in April 2022. This is part of a smooth generational change, where Lisbeth Barnbæk Nielsen, who took over as CEO of the company in October 2021, will also step in as new co-owner, while Dorte Zacho, who has previously been CEO and most recently Chairman of the Board, resigns from the ownership group. Claus Martinsen, development director of the company, will continue as majority owner. At the same time, businessman Mogens Rüdiger joins as the new Chairman of the Board.

The common ambition is, among other things, to future-proof BM Silo commercially and further develop the environmentally sustainable and socially responsible profile – including for the benefit of more people from the edge of the labour market.
