Tordenskjold sikkerhedstændstik

Tordenskjold sikkerhedstændstik is a brand of safety matches that has been a staple in Danish households since the late 19th century. The brand's name honors Peter Wessel Tordenskiold, a renowned Danish-Norwegian naval hero, symbolizing national pride and strength. The matches are produced by Gosch Tændstikfabriker, a Danish company that secured the Tordenskjold trademark in 1883. In 1972, the company was acquired by Swedish Match AB, a leading producer of matches and lighters headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Despite the change in ownership, the Tordenskjold brand continues to be associated with Denmark, reflecting its enduring legacy in Danish culture.
