Our story
We are a family-owned company based on responsibility and common sense. It’s been that way since 1975 when Per Nelson Ørnstrand (PNO) founded the company. The next generation of the Ørnstrand has now taken over, and today PNO is fully family owned by Lee Ørnstrand.
Just like his father, Jacob believes in long-term customer relationships based on trust, and the importance of taking responsibility as a company – not only in relation to our customers, but also towards the environment and our employees.
PNO has the Nordics’ largest range of short and long-term trailer rentals. Our head office is located in Copenhagen, and we have branches in Helsinki, Oslo, Hamburg, Helsingborg in Sweden, Horsens in Denmark and Venlo in Holland.
But as we grow, we’ve never lost touch with the values on which our company has been founded.
