It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bernt Dahl, founder and longtime director of Kentaur.
Bernt was not just a leader. He was the heart and soul behind our company. Over the past 35 years, he built and developed Kentaur from a one-man business into a leading name in the European workwear industry. His passion for innovation and functionality has left a legacy – not only within Kentaur but across the industry as a whole.
- We are shocked and deeply saddened by Bernt’s passing. I had the privilege of working alongside Bernt for over 30 years. He was an exceptional leader, mentor, and partner. His ability to inspire, listen, and bring out the best in others made him truly unique. His absence will be deeply felt, both professionally and personally, says Christian Beirholm, Kentaur’s Commercial Director.
Despite this immense loss, Kentaur remains a resilient and forward-focused organization.
- Our plans for 2025 are well established, and we are prepared to carry forward Bernt’s vision. We are a strong and united team, supported by a competent executive leadership group and a dedicated board. Together, we will ensure Kentaur’s continued growth and success, says Mie Krog, Chairman of Kentaur’s board.
Lars Bundgaard, lawyer and board representative, emphasizes that plans are in place to guide the company through this transition.
- We are now implementing the contingency measures Bernt helped shape, ensuring that Kentaur continues to operate in the spirit of his leadership and dedication to excellence.”
Our deepest condolences go to Bernt’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
May his life and legacy be honored and remembered.
