How a small commercial firm became an international company...

The history of FAUSOL A/S

Since its foundation in 1969, FAUSOL has been an evolving company with a clear ambition to create value for our customers.

We offer an extensive range for “gardening people”, combined with efficiency, smooth logistics and a high level of service.

Below you can see a short version of our history.

1969 Mogens Faurbjerg Sørensen started the company “F.S. Import”.
The product range consisted of only five products - fly poison, fly catchers and mouse pellets. This could actually have continued if the then young lad, Kim Faurbjerg, had not been out with his father selling Faurbjerg-Sørensen products to the Danish merchants.

1984 to 1995 Mogens and Kim expanded the company, with more customers and expansion of the range, including impregnation and several types of pesticides.

1995 Kim joined the company full-time.

1997 The first sales representative was hired, and since then, things have gone from strength to strength, while the product range has been continuously expanded in line with market developments.

1999 Kim took over the company from his parents.

2004 Kim Faurbjerg acquired the HORNUM brand, and F.S. Import was renamed FAUSOL A/S at the same time.

The first years were spent creating safe and effective recipes to strengthen the HORNUM range and brand. Over time, HORNUM became more and more popular with both professionals and private individuals, and the range and various sales solutions were constantly expanded.

2009 Development of the PRIMA brand, an affordable range that today spans everything from topsoil, fertiliser and grass seed to garden tools and planting accessories such as mini-greenhouses, growth promoters and innovative vases, pots and window boxes.

2011 Launched on the Swedish market.

2017 After 12 years in Roskilde, FAUSOL moved to Tune, from 2,200 m2 to a total of 3,500 m2 warehouse and office and 1,000 m2 showroom.

2018 Launched on the Norwegian and Finnish markets.

2019 First own sales representative hired for the Swedish market.

2022 Move to a new and even larger warehouse and headquarters in Bjaeverskov.

Today, some 50 years later, FAUSOL A/S is one of Scandinavia’s leading companies in fertilisers, soil, portioned seeds, flower bulbs, garden tools and other products for both indoors and outdoors, and still retains the family motto:

"We make garden dreams come true."
