03 / About
Mechanical and electrical, under one roof.
Former Glory is built on a background of both mechanical, thermodynamic and electrical knowledge. A project never gets passed between specialists: the parts, the wiring and how they work together are designed by the same head and hands ensuring a fully integrated solution where everything works together as intended.
I’m Nikolaj De Araujo Grønberg, founder and lead Engineer at Former Glory. My interest for vehicles grew from a passion for motorcycles, engineering, and hands-on problem solving. I love restoring and optimizing older vehicles, keeping each machine alive for many years to come while preserving its character and history.
