Heritage
Our Group was founded by Mr A.P. Møller in 1904. Following the death of his father in 1965, Mr Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller assumed the leadership of the Group which, thanks to initiative, foresight and enterprise, has developed into a major international business.
Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller withdrew from the day-to-day management in 1993 when Jess Søderberg took over. In 2007 Nils S. Andersen took over from Jess Søderberg as Group CEO and Partner.
