refako.dk REFAKO ApS (Refako Autodele) is a Danish family-owned truck and trailer parts retailer founded in 1975 in Odense, Denmark, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025. It operates 13 stores nationwide with 200,000+ SKUs (290,000 for B2B) and employs 59–70+ people. Annual gross profit is ~26–27M DKK (~$3.7M), but the company has been loss-making for 6 consecutive years (2020–2025), with equity saved by owner injections (16.3M DKK in 2025) after hitting a crisis low of 2.7M in 2022. It turned operationally profitable in 2024 (+0.46M DKK) under new sole owner Klaus Allan Jørgensen (KJ Holding took 100% in May 2024), but slipped back into losses in 2025. Refako is Denmark's only authorized SAF-Holland partner (global leader in trailer axles/suspension) and carries premium brands like WABCO, Knorr-Bremse, JOST, Dinex, and Exide. Customer reputation is excellent — Trustpilot 4.8/5 from 2,695 reviews — with same-day shipping and 30-minute Click & Collect across its store network.

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
