headquarters of cembrit in aalborg denmark history edit in 1910 the russian tsar placed an order for three fibre cement plants with the danish company flsmidth & co. unfortunately for the tsar the 1917 revolution had broken out by the time his plants were finally ready to ship . 3 one of these packaged plants was almost forgotten by time and spent the next 13 years in storage until flsmidth & co. dug it out and founded its own fibre cement subsidiary dansk eternit fabrik now cembrit in the city of aalborg denmark . the plant that never made it to the tsar s russia became the foundation for dansk eternit fabrik in 1927 . over the next 50 years dansk eternit fabrik grew and expanded and in the late 1970s the company really started to increase its export activities . for three decades dansk eternit fabrik expanded through a number of acquisitions of other fibre cement manufactures and distributors across europe . 3 in 1938 the brand name cembrit was applied for the first time as a sub brand for the then small export activities . 3 at that time the group had not yet expanded and consisted merely of one danish company situated in aalborg . the name cembrit derives from the cimbri a nomadic tribe from northern denmark that conquered large parts of europe and threatened the roman empire around 100 bc . it was first used in 1941 as the name of an export brand during dansk eternit fabrik s european conquest . as the cembrit group continued to grow an increasing demand for a shared corporate identity arose . therefore the company changed the corporate name including the name of all subsidiaries to cembrit cembrit hereby changed from being a sub brand to being the corporate company name . today cembrit consists of the parent company cembrit holding a s and the subsidiaries situated in numerous countries across europe . 2 references edit a b flsmidth annual report 2013 flsmidth annual report 2013 check url value help pdf . retrieved 2013 05 19 . a b about cembrit .
