Company Profile
It was in 1958 that Jan E. Ansteen Nielsson set up a
small factory for the production of sportswear in the
small Danish town of Hörve located at a distance of
about 80 km from Copenhagen. In choosing a name for
his company he simply used his initials, that is JEAN,
adding the TEX. Thus, JEANTEX was born. Denmark being surrounded by water, as everybody knows, and biking being a favourite sport in the country, Nielsson specialises in these major sectors of wear. Hardwearing though heavy waterproof wear for fisher-
men and practical and also waterproof wear for bikers
are the first products produced and tested by Nielsson
himself as well as by his friends. Unfortunately, spare
time is scare indeed in which Nielsson can go on biking
an extensive wallking and, of course, sailing tours
with his friends.
