Vikan, brush makers in Skive since 1898

VIKAN VEHICLE BRUSH LONG HANDLE, 420mm SOFT BLACK - The Drivers HQ

Brushes first. A. P. Pedersen learned the trade from the brushmaker Søren Christensen after the two served in the military together. Business grew across Jutland quickly enough for him to buy the Thinggade building in 1903, and when part of the factory burned down in 1918 he built a new one on Østergade.

Tools for vehicles. In 1997 Vikan launched the Vikan Transport System, a series of professional cleaning tools for vehicles. The Transport range now runs to more than 70 tools for cleaning every type of vehicle, inside and out, and it is where our long handled Vehicle Brush comes from.

The other ranges. Vikan's Hygiene range is colour coded to cut cross-contamination in food production. The Classic range, which goes back to the 1898 founding, uses wooden handles with natural and artificial fibre bristles for farming, manufacturing and the trades.

About Vikan

Vikan is a Danish maker of professional cleaning tools, based in Skive in Denmark. Anders Peter Pedersen started making brushes there on 1 May 1898 in a rented backroom on Thinggade, and early work included brushes for Danish dairies. Today the company is owned outright by the Vissing Foundation, a non-profit family foundation set up in 1979, and its tools are made for vehicle care, food safety, farming and professional cleaning.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Vikan brushes from its vehicle and cleaning ranges, online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop: the Interior Black Brush Soft, the Upholstery Nail Brush, the Round Scrubbing Brush and the Vehicle Brush Long Handle.
