Sunds

History

Even at the census of 1901, Sunds had only 65 inhabitants spread over 13 properties. When the railroad between Herning and Viborg opened in 1906, Sunds got a station, and this set in motion urban development. By 1925, Sunds had 308 inhabitants. After 1970, Sunds developed into a suburb of Herning, and in 2006 the city had 3,759 inhabitants. The railway closed to passenger traffic in 1971. Several single-family housing districts emerged, but also a number of industries within a relatively wide range of production branches. Among the most important is Kyocera Unimerco (founded 1964), which produces tools for the metal, energy and food industries as well as measurement technology, Danfoss Gemina (1987), which manufactures heat exchangers, and Joha (founded 1963), which supplies children's clothing.
