The Story Behind Variant

The basis of what we know today as your trailer market Variant, started with a light business idea. It was founded by Niels Buhl who, on June 1, 1975, Established the brand Variant for the production of small hobbyists in a small workshop behind the private home.

In Early 1977, Brother Jens Buhl became employed, and the following year also co-owner. In the first years, the product range was focused solely on smaller hobby trailers for private use. This has today evolved to include, Commercial, Hobby trailers, Machine Trailers, Boat Trailers, Cargo Trailers, etc.
Over the years, the company has been located at several different addresses in the Vejle area. It started in Høgsholt, later moved to unloading, then to Højen and then two Vinding.

In 1996, the company moved for the last time to the current address on Godthåbsvej in Vejle. The many relocations are due to the productiveness of the plant. Today, all activities are gathered at the same address under the same brand. This simplifies and strengthens the entire organization, making the roads from decision to action very short. Production at the factory in Vejle today consists of a lot of assembly work. There is still some internal raw material processing in the form of own welding and iron. However, increasingly specialized subcontractors are being used for the individual components. The combination of this means that during product development and production improvement, both internal and external know-how can be drawn.

The brothers Niels and Jens Buhl ran the company until January 1, 2006, when Niels Buhl chose to retire. The company is continued by Jens Buhl, and his son Andreas Buhl who joined the management. In 2012, Andreas Buhl took over the management of the company.
Today, Variant has more than 150 good dealers spread throughout the country. Variant is Denmark’s largest Danish-owned trailer manufacturer. In 2018 Variant introduced the first of their innovative designed trailers into the Australian market.
