Falck

Falck A/S, commonly known simply as Falck, is a Danish multinational corporation that provides emergency medical services, ambulance operations, fire and rescue support, safety and health services, and related training and consultancy. The company is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Falck was founded in Copenhagen in the early 20th century by Laurits Falck as a private ambulance service. It expanded through the 20th century to include municipal emergency service contracts and a broader range of safety services. The company grew internationally in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, establishing operations in many countries across Europe, the Americas, and beyond.

Falck operates by providing contract-based emergency response and ambulance services to public authorities and private clients. It also offers safety training, risk assessment, industrial safety, and health services for workplaces and communities. Through its regional and national subsidiaries, Falck serves urban and rural areas with emergency and preventive services.

Falck has undergone corporate restructuring and changes in ownership over the years, reflecting shifts in strategy toward integrated safety and health services. It remains one of the longstanding operators in the field, with a global footprint that includes ambulance services, safety and risk management, and training activities designed for public sector contracts and private clients.
