History
editThe company was founded in 1964 by Ejnar Jespersen in Jyllinge.[4] In 1974 it started selling synchrotron magnet systems.[2]
In 2004 Siemens took over the medical particle therapy division of Danfysik.[5] In 2009 Danfysik was bought by the Danish Technological Institute (DTI)[6] and most of the company was moved to a building at DTI's campus. In 2011 the site in Jyllinge was closed.[7]
