After several years of record growth, lifting specialists HARCO need more space. A new headquarters is set to be ready in 2026.

HARCO has been extremely busy in recent years, growing from just a handful of employees to now approaching 100 colleagues — all driven by the booming offshore wind industry.

Now, this growth and momentum are leading the company to expand its headquarters in Måde, located in southeastern Esbjerg: 5,900 square meters will be ready for operation in 2026.

-“We’ve grown significantly in recent years, and our current facilities simply can’t keep up,” says Frank Hedegaard, COO at HARCO.

Our capacity is stretched, and based on customer inquiries for upcoming projects, we know we’ll need to handle increasingly larger components – and more of them. It’s a big decision for a young company like ours, but not a difficult one. This expansion is demand-driven, and frankly, we would’ve loved for the building to be finished yesterday.”

Ready by summer 2026

But HARCO will have to wait a bit longer: Groundbreaking for the 5,900 m² expansion took place on August 26. The project includes 4,300 m² of production hall, set to be ready by July 1, 2026, and 1,600 m² of office space, scheduled for completion by October 1, 2026.

HARCO currently leases space from NorSea Denmark, and the new facility is being developed in close collaboration with NorSea, who will own and operate the building.

We’re pleased to continue our partnership with NorSea as we take the next steps in our growth journey. Staying in Esbjerg is important to us, and we value the opportunity to work with strong local partners as we develop our future operations.”
