Local History of Operation
The factory in Mölnlycke was built in 1972, after the company grew out of its much smaller facilities and needed a manufacturing area with more functional workspace.
Our Origins
The factory and adjoining office were later built out even further to allow for increased capacity. In more recent years, major investments were made primarily in the production line and with automatic welding robots.
1958
Our first real production facility was at a mechanical workshop in Kode, north of Gothenburg.

1964
The company outgrew the small workshop in Kode and moved into a larger facility in Kållered.

1972
The Kållered facility became too small, and the company moved to a purpose-built factory in Mölnlycke.
