A Danish manufacturer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nielsen & Winther was a Danish machine factory and aeroplane manufacturer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The machine factory was founded in 1873. It was from 1899 to 1916 based in a building at Blegdamsvej 60 designed by Axel Berg. It then relocated to a new building designed by Frederik Wagner at Ryesgade 51-55 as well as a large new plant at Øresundsvej 147.[1]
The Amager plant was home to a new aeroplane division. It delivered six Nielsen & Winther Type Aa aeroplanes to the Royal Danish Air Force in 1917.[2] One aircraft was delivered to the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service in 1918. Three of the six Danish aircraft crashed in accidents and the three remaining ones were therefore grounded. The Amager plant was sold to Vølund in 1920.[3]

The company's former buildings at Blegdamsvej 60 and Ryesgade 51-55 have survived. The Amager plant, taken over by Vølund, was demolished in 2001. Its premises in the Free Port was taken over by Riffelsyndikatet.
