Isidor Henius, the father of Max Henius, was one of the founders of a company that was acquired by Danish Distillers, which ended up owning all Danish spirits production.

To avoid a dominant position in the Danish market, Arcus had to divest the brand Brøndums Snaps (akvavit).

This brand was sold to Finland's Altia group spirits producer.

Completed in 1931, it was designed in Neoclassical style by the architect Alf Cock-Clausen.

[3] The factory in Aalborg closed in April 2015 when production was moved to Norway.
