Kure founded his company in 1897 for electrical installation in the first phase of network construction in the Norwegian capital Kristiania. Kure was one of the first electric heater dealers in Norway.
In 1911 he started the production of electric ovens and other electrical devices with his own production facilities.

This connection created an important company with connections to one of the largest Swedish industrial groups.
