Codan Medical is a privately owned Danish manufacturer of medical equipment based in Rødby.
Last updated August 25, 2026
Overview
Codan Medical is a privately owned Danish medical-equipment manufacturer headquartered in Rødby, in Lolland Municipality. The company was founded in 1939 by Sven Husted-Andersen and remains associated with the Husted-Andersen family. After the business was passed to Sven's son, Stig Husted-Andersen, ownership later moved to Stig's three daughters, Deirdre, Alexandra, and Stefanie Husted-Andersen. Stig Husted-Andersen died in 2008. Public reference material identifies Codan Medical primarily through its role as a manufacturer of medical equipment rather than through a broad portfolio of consumer-facing healthcare brands. Available sources do not provide enough detail to reliably enumerate specific product families, manufacturing technologies, geographic sales markets, financial results, executive appointments, or major marketing campaigns. Accordingly, the company is best characterized as a privately held business-to-business medical-device brand serving professional healthcare contexts. Its Danish base and family ownership distinguish it from similarly named insurance or financial-services businesses. The available information does not establish a parent corporation, stock-market listing, or a separately reported corporate group. More detailed information about its current operations, product categories, regulatory authorizations, distribution network, and present leadership would require additional primary or industry sources.
History
Codan Medical was established in Denmark in 1939 by Sven Husted-Andersen. The available historical record describes the company as a medical-equipment manufacturer and places its base in Rødby, within Lolland Municipality. The business subsequently passed from its founder to his son, Stig Husted-Andersen, continuing a family ownership structure. Stig Husted-Andersen died in 2008. Ownership is now held by his three daughters, Deirdre, Alexandra, and Stefanie Husted-Andersen. This succession makes the Husted-Andersen family central to the company's history and governance. Publicly available reference material does not provide a detailed chronology of product introductions, facilities, acquisitions, international expansion, regulatory milestones, or changes in corporate structure. It also does not identify a parent company or public listing. Codan Medical is therefore documented here primarily as a long-established, privately owned Danish medical-equipment manufacturer, while specific operational and commercial details remain unverified.
