A brief historical summary

On 23 February 1895 Södra Sveriges Ångpanneförening was created when a number of steam generator owners in the south of Sweden joined forces to prevent accidents and make more efficient use of steam power.

In the 115 years that have elapsed since then, ÅF has played a major role in the industrial developments that have revolutionised society.

The company has guided its clients through four huge technology changes – steam, electricity, nuclear power and computerisation – and remained at the forefront of technology both in the industrial era and in today’s information society.

Since AB Ångpanneföreningen was first listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in January 1986, the company has grown to become one of Europe’s largest technical consulting companies.

On 5 May 2008 AB Ångpanneföreningen changed its name to ÅF AB.
