TASSO takes social responsibility through partnership with 
Odense Værkstederne

For almost a decade TASSO has given priority to social responsibility through a partnership with Odense Værkstederne 
– a municipal organisation dedicated to providing job opportunities to citizens with physical and mental challenges

In recent years the TASSO iron foundry in Odense has placed orders with Odense Værkstederne where they regularly have their 
casting ladles cleaned and made. Odense Værkstederne is a valuable and visionary municipal initiative that employs citizens with 
mental and physical challenges who cannot find regular employment on the Danish labour market. Altogether the workshops employ 
around 480 people.

Citizens suffering from concentration problems, pain, fatigue, balance problems and the like work at Odense Værkstederne 
where they help TASSO repair the foundry’s equipment for removing slag from molten iron. Kristian B. Pedersen, CEO of TASSO is 
enthusiastic about Odense Værkstederne’s vision of helping job seekers with functional impairments and he is pleased with the longstanding partnership:

“Partnering with Odense Værkstederne is a great opportunity to take on social responsibility as a company. They can employ 
employees that we unfortunately cannot employ in our factory due to the layout of our facilities or limited flexibility. It is therefore gratifying to have Odense Værkstederne as one of our regular suppliers. We can practise social responsibility through the orders we place with them and support this meaningful enterprise,” says Kristian B. Pedersen.
