Nordisk Film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nordisk Film (English: Nordic Movies) was established in Valby, Copenhagen, Denmark in 1906 by Ole Olsen under the name "Ole Olsen's Film Factory". As Nordisk Film, it became a publicly traded company in 1911. In 1992 it merged with the Egmont media group and operates today as electronic media production and distribution group that employs 1,090 people in six countries. The total revenues in 2003 amounted to approximately € 345 million.
