Who actually makes the most money in the business world in Lolland, Falster, Møn and the Vordingborg area?
The answer is surprisingly broad. Here are cookies from Stege, supercars from Præstø, pickups from Nakskov, malt for beer from Ørslev and seeds from Holeby. In other words, there are many ways to make big money in the southern part of Region Zealand.
A review of accounts submitted in 2025 shows that the top is not dominated by one particular industry, but by a mix of banks, industry, food, tourism, agriculture and specialised niche companies. At the top is Bisca in Stege with a profit of 167.7 million DKK, while both Lolland Bank and Møns Bank also rank at the very top.
The list thus paints a picture of a business community where classic local companies stand side by side with international corporations and export-oriented specialists. Some have deep roots in the region and live off the land, production or local customers. Others sell to the world market from addresses in Rødby, Præstø, Holeby, Nakskov and Vordingborg.
Bisca A/S: profit 167.7 million DKK

Bisca in Stege is one of the most prominent production companies in Vordingborg Municipality and one of the heavy profit machines in the overall statement. The company manufactures cakes, biscuits and other sweet products and is behind well-known brands such as Karen Volf, Karen’s Bakery, Snøfler, All in one and MØN. Production has been in Stege since 1968, while the company itself traces its roots back to 1890, giving the company an unusually long local and industrial history. At the same time, Bisca has both its headquarters and production on Møn, while administration, sales and marketing are located in Albertslund. This makes the company a classic and very visible food producer with a strong local anchoring, but also with a size that reaches far beyond the local area.
Lolland Bank A/S: Profit 99.0 million DKK
Lolland Bank in Nakskov is the region's most important financial player and plays a central role for both private customers and businesses in Lolland-Falster and the southern part of Zealand. The bank has a strong local profile and builds much of its identity on proximity to customers and close relationships in its market area. It is also one of the companies in the overview that most readers will know, both as a local bank and as an active partner in the regional business community. The 2024 accounts show a profit after tax of 99.0 million DKK, which places the bank at the top of the list, even though the result was lower than the previous year. This makes Lolland Bank an obvious company in the overview because it has both local weight, high visibility, and great significance for the development of the area's business community.
Møns Bank A/S: Profit 83.8 million DKK
Møns Bank is one of the most prominent financial companies in Vordingborg Municipality and has a strong historical foundation in the area. The bank has roots on Møn but has in recent years expanded its business area and opened a branch in Køge as part of its growth. At the same time, the bank is focusing specifically on business and has a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises. This makes Møns Bank a central player for both local customers and the business community in a larger regional market. The bank is therefore a natural part of the top in the overview of the area's largest profits.
RWE Wind Services Denmark A/S: Profit 64.9 million DKK
RWE Wind Services Denmark A/S in Rødby is part of the German energy group RWE and works with service and maintenance in the wind industry. The company is thus an example of how Lolland is also connected to the international energy sector and not only to traditional industry and agriculture. The company is based in Rødby Harbour, from where it is part of a larger green value chain around operations and technology. This makes RWE Wind Services a somewhat different company on the list, because the profit lies in a specialised technical function within a large international group. At the same time, it shows that there is also business in the local area in companies that work around the green transition.
Zenvo Automotive A/S: Profit 63.7 million DKK
Zenvo Automotive in Præstø is Denmark's only manufacturer of supercars and thus one of the most spectacular companies on the list. In 2024, the company turned previous losses into a profit in the millions, while equity was raised from minus to plus. The progress is closely linked to the launch of the Aurora models Agil and Tur, where customers have already made large prepayments long before the cars roll into production. Zenvo builds the cars in Præstø for an international niche market, where prices are in the absolute super league. This makes the company a rare example of a small South Zealand company making money by selling hand-built hypercars to the world's wealthiest. The price? Approximately 25 million. And that's without tax.
Melitek A/S: profit 40.6 million DKK
Melitek in Nørre Alslev is a family-owned industrial company that produces plastic granules for, among other things, the medical industry. The materials are used in products such as contact lenses, catheters, diagnostic equipment, and solutions for diabetes treatment, and the company thus operates in a specialised market with high demands for quality and development. Melitek is owned and managed by the brothers Kim and Jesper Laursen and has for several years invested in both product development and expansion of production on Hartvig Jensensvej. At the same time, the company has built a solid economy and continues to focus on strengthening both capacity and competencies. This makes Melitek one of the more specialised and robust industrial companies in the area.
This is how we did it
The list is based on companies' most recently submitted accounts in the calendar year 2025. In most cases, this means accounts for 2024, but some companies may have a different financial year.
We have focused on companies with addresses in the municipalities of Lolland, Guldborgsund, and Vordingborg and sorted by profit after tax.
Public companies, utility companies, large construction and project companies, and holding companies have been excluded.
MSE Entreprise A/S: profit 36.1 million DKK
MSE Entreprise in Nørre Alslev is the largest construction company on Lolland-Falster and one of the most prominent players in the local construction and civil engineering industry. The company works with everything from earthworks and sewage to district heating, drainage, and larger construction projects, and it therefore plays a significant role in the contractor market that characterises the region. MSE is a name many in the business world know because the company has over the years made a clear mark on a wide range of projects. It is a company that combines size, capacity, and local weight. Therefore, MSE also naturally belongs among the largest profits in the survey.
Lalandia A/S: profit 34.3 million DKK
Lalandia in Rødby is one of the most well-known companies in the entire region and at the same time one of the largest tourist engines on Lolland-Falster. The holiday centre has attracted guests from both Denmark and abroad for many years with its water park, holiday homes, and large-scale family experiences. The company thus plays a role that extends far beyond its own walls, as it also creates activity for shops, restaurants, and other businesses in the area. In short, Lalandia is a significant player in the local experience economy and one of the most visible business names in Rødby.
Fredsholm Gods A/S: profit 33.0 million DKK
Fredsholm Gods is one of the large agricultural companies on Lolland and represents the part of the business sector where land is still the very foundation of the business. The company is linked to the larger estate landscape on the western part of the island and operates with classic large-scale agricultural production. This is not a small family farm, but a capital-intensive company with significant areas and an operation that is prominent in the local business landscape. Fredsholm Gods is thus also a good example of how agriculture continues to play a significant role among the largest companies in the region. On Lolland, it is still possible to find large profits in companies where fields, crops, and land are the main assets.
KJV A/S: profit 32.8 million DKK
KJV in Nykøbing F. is part of a nationwide sales and service company that supplies tools, transmissions, machine tools, and automation solutions to the industry. The company holds a strong position in the market segment that supplies equipment and technical solutions to the metal and machinery industry. KJV was founded in 1956 and today has branches in several locations across the country, including Nykøbing Falster. The company is thus an example of the type of technical trading company that thrives on expertise, a wide range of products, and close relationships with industrial customers.
Vikima Seed A/S: profit 32.2 million DKK
Chives are one of the plants that Vikima is involved in developing.
Vikima Seed in Holeby is a major player in the seed industry, distributing vegetable and flower seeds to the global market, with a strong position in spinach seeds. The company is based in Lolland but is Japanese-owned and thus part of an international corporate structure with production and sales across borders. The company collaborates with around 300 farmers in Denmark, as well as a few in Sweden and Germany, and the business is closely linked to both harvest yields and the conditions for seed cultivation. At the same time, Vikima Seed has invested in new buildings and better facilities for employees in Holeby. This makes the company a clear example of how international ownership and local production are interconnected in Lolland.
Viking Malt A/S: Profit 31.6 million DKK
Viking Malt in Ørslev near Vordingborg produces malt for both large and small breweries and is part of the Finnish Viking Malt group. The company had a turnover of 516 million DKK in 2024, two-thirds of which came from exports. This makes the company a significant export business in the food cluster around Vordingborg. At the end of the year, Viking Malt had 40 employees.

Ortofon in Nakskov is one of the companies that has long made Lolland-Falster known far beyond the region. The company has been producing cartridges for record players for decades and has built a strong position in a niche where sound quality, precision, and craftsmanship are crucial. The company has roots dating back to 1918, giving it an unusually long industrial history in Nakskov. Ortofon is a brand known by hi-fi enthusiasts worldwide.
Guldborg Skovdistrikt ApS: Profit 26.7 million DKK
Guldborg Skovdistrikt near Nysted effectively covers the management of forests and areas around Ålholm Castle. Here, it is not factories, shops, or tourist activities that drive the business, but land, forest, and the long-term management of larger values. The equity of 242.1 million DKK also says something about the weight of the company, where the values are largely tied up in the areas. The company thus serves as the financial framework for the estate's forestry and land management.
Hetag IFA Roofing A/S: Profit 19.3 million DKK
Hetag IFA Roofing in Toreby specialises in larger roofing projects and had an exceptionally strong financial year in 2024, with post-tax profits tripling to 19.3 million DKK. The company worked on school projects in the Copenhagen area, the renovation of Galgebakken in Albertslund, and locally at Sundskolen. The company employs around 55 people and is led by Stephen Kryger, who is also a co-owner. The accounts indicated that high activity and close collaboration with regular customers were key factors in the strong result.
