FOUNDERS & BOARD OF DIRECTORS

UNEEG medical A/S was founded in 2005 by Professor dr. med. Henning Beck-Nielsen and co-Founder M.Sc.Eng. Rasmus Stig Jensen. Originally the company’s aim was to build disruptive technologies for insulin dependent diabetics, that prior to severe hypoglycemia should receive an alert, hence aiming at improving patients’ quality of life and personal safety.

In 2009 T&W Medical A/S became the majority shareholder of the company. Chairman of the board is Søren Westermann, who represents one part of the two families, Tøpholm and Westermann. Both families are through T&W Medical A/S co-owners of WS Audiology A/S, a merger between former Widex A/S and Sivantos Pte. Ltd. WS Audiology A/S is a sister company to UNEEG medical. The group of owners also includes Hera Holding ApS.

Today, UNEEG medical employs approximately 60 people and is facing an international market launch.
