It is with deep sorrow and great respect that we announce the passing of Alex Buchardt Pedersen — a remarkable and visionary businessman who, throughout his life, made a lasting impact on both Danish business and the world of horse breeding.
A Merchant with Vision
Alex Buchardt Pedersen founded and for many years owned Hørkram Foodservice, which he developed from a small local store into a nationwide player in the foodservice industry.
He was a true merchant – with a keen eye for quality, structure, and potential – and an unwavering determination to create and evolve. His leadership was characterized by decisiveness, integrity, and a strong belief that good results come through trust and hard work.
Slangerupgaard – A Passion for Horses
Alongside his business life, Alex developed a passion for horses and breeding. On his estate, Slangerupgaard, he created a place where quality, care, and vision went hand in hand.
Under his ownership, Slangerupgaard became known for breeding horses of the highest caliber – both nationally and internationally. Among several successes, the names Slangerupgaards Flottenheimer and Slangerupgaards Saffron stand as proud examples of his dedication and eye for excellence.
A Life of Purpose and Principles
Alex was a man of strong principles and a genuine belief in the value of good work. He held firmly to his ideas but always met people with warmth, humor, and loyalty.
To many around him, he was not only a leader or an owner – but an inspiration.
He is survived by his sons, Michael and Henrik, who both stood by his side and shared his dedication and vision.
With the passing of Alex Buchardt Pedersen, we have lost a man who, through his willpower, heart, and tireless energy, created something enduring.
His name will be remembered with respect – both in the business community and among horse enthusiasts, where his breeding legacy and values live on.
Honoring the memory of Alex Buchardt Pedersen.
