Sonderborg
We are based in the city you work in
Sonderborg is an industrial city built around mechatronics, power electronics and industrial automation. Danfoss, the suppliers around it and the research environment at Alsion have created a density of technical competence few cities of that size can match.
It is also where ProDNA was founded in 2020, by Einar Runarsson, after more than 20 years as an engineering leader at Danfoss and in industry. We know the companies, the supply chain and the people who get products out the door.
That means a shorter start-up. A senior from the network can sit with you the same week, without a run-in period where someone first has to learn the industry.
Types of engagement
What we typically solve in Sonderborg
The engagements below are the ones we are called in for most often. If yours spans several of them, that is the rule, not the exception.
- 01
Interim leadership at short notice
A product manager, project lead or COO leaving mid-course costs more than the vacancy itself. We put in a senior who has held the seat before and takes over operations, budget and steering group from week one.
- 02
Product development in mechatronics and electronics
Stage-Gate, agile or hybrid. We work with hardware, embedded software and functional safety to IEC 61508 and ASIL/SIL, and know what separates a prototype from a product that can be manufactured.
- 03
Projects that have stalled
Unclear roles, a steering group without a mandate, a scope that has grown. We run an assessment, put structure in place, and drive the improvements through PDCA cycles until ownership sits with you.
- 04
Engineering capacity without permanent hires
Mechanical, electronics and software through ProDNA Engineering Hub, with Danish project management as quality assurance. You scale up on a single project without building a department.
- 05
Capability that stays in-house
Learning Hub delivers training, coaching and accredited certifications in Agile, Product Management and Lean Six Sigma, at your own address in Sonderborg.
- 06
Public sector without a tender process
ProDNA is an approved vendor on the SKI 17.13 and SKI 02.14 frameworks. Municipalities and public institutions can award directly under the framework agreement.

- 03
Do you need to accelerate a development effort and lack engineering capacity?
- 04
Do you want to build Agile, Product Management or Lean Six Sigma capability internally?
