Gunnebo AB -- Company History
Originally founded as a Swedish hammer mill by Hans Hultman in 1764, Gunnebo later came under German ownership in the 1850s. At that time, the mill was transformed into a foundry, Gunnebo Bruk, and went on to become one the largest manufacturers in its region by the 1870s. In 1889, the company was incorporated as Gunnebo Bruk Nya AB.
