Holstebro based company receives million aid

A company from Holstebro can look forward to receive millions in aid from the Ministry of Business and Growth's Market Maturation Fund. The money will be used to further develop a lifting machine.

Just over three million are on their way to the Holstebro company Just Easy Tools. The money comes from the Ministry of Business and Growth, and will be used to further develop a lifting machine for very large tyres. “This project would not succeed to the same extent and the same speed that we have the opportunity for now”, says Lars Jørgensen who is the owner of Just Easy Tools. “That is why the director is happy, but also realistic. - It is not finished and sold yet. Let’s take the champagne when we get there, he says.”

The machine is called Griptech OTR and can lift a wheel on a large mine truck even though the weight is 11 tons and the diameter is over 4 meters. The money goes to companies that want to promote innovative ideas, but where the banks have slammed the box. - It is to help them the last step, out on the market and then hopefully help them to make some money, says Troels Lund Poulsen (V), Minister of Business and Growth.
