Company history

The company AB Thulinverken from Landskrona was founded in 1915 by Enoch Thulin as Sweden's first aircraft manufacturer Enoch Thulins Aeroplanfabrik . The company began producing AGA vehicles under license in 1918 and now traded as AB Thulinsverken. In 1920 bankruptcy was filed. In the period that followed, the name was changed several times and, among other things, vehicle parts were produced. In 1958 SAB Bromsregulator bought Thulinverken in Malmö, the focus now was on braking systems. It later became part of the Haldex Group.
