About us

Gram Equipment’s story begins in the early 1900s, when Hans Gram opened a small smithy in the Danish countryside. What started as a local workshop soon grew into a recognized industrial success. By 1930, as ice cream made its debut in Denmark, Gram delivered the country’s very first automatic ice cream manufacturing machine. This moment marked the beginning of our long-standing legacy in the ice cream industry. 

Today, Gram Equipment is a global leader in supplying equipment to the ice cream industry. From our headquarters in Kolding, Denmark, and through our international offices across five countries, we combine decades of know-how with the latest advancements in automation, design, and machinery. 

At the heart of our success is our team - highly skilled, passionate people who bring innovation and craftsmanship into everything we do. As we continue to grow, we’re always looking for new colleagues to help us move our business forward.
