Tordenskjold safety matches

Tordenskjold is a Danish brand of safety matches that has been iconic since 1865. The brand is named after Peter Wessel Tordenskjold, a renowned naval officer in the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy. In the early 20th century, facing competition from Swedish match exports, a Danish match factory manager's wife suggested adopting the Tordenskjold name to symbolize victory over Sweden. The matches are produced by Swedish Match Industries AB, a leading global manufacturer of matches and lighters headquartered in Sweden. The matches are made from Swedish aspen wood, ensuring a high-quality and environmentally friendly product. Tordenskjold matches are available in various forms, including household matches, pocket matches, and candle matches, all designed to meet higher standards than the European norm, ensuring safety and reliability.
