<p><strong>1939 – A love story</strong><br /> <br /> The year is 1939, and Holger and Marie have just married. Marie is a hairdresser, and she decides to open her own salon in Randers. Money is tight, so she asks her husband to help her furnish her salon, for example with a practical waste bin. <br /> <br /> Holger takes himself off to his workshop and sets about fulfilling his wife's wishes. He is a skilled craftsman, and wants to impress his beautiful wife. After many hours in the workshop, he is ready to present the Vipp pedal bin to Marie - and she is thrilled. <br /> <br /> Like Marie, the customers in her salon love the Vipp bin, and Holger soon starts receiving commissions for more. Marie's customers think that the bin is ideal for their husbands' medical practices, not least thanks to its functionality. The sudden demand for the Vipp bin prompts Holger to start production on a larger scale. The bin, which was originally intended for Marie only, becomes a standard piece of equipment at Danish medical practices. </p>
