History
During the reign of Gustav Vasa, there was a hammerTemplate:Clarification needed in Surahammar. However, it is not known when the operation started, but it must have been before the year 1561.[3]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 1637, a hammer with two hearths was erected by Axel Oxenstierna on the site where the current mill is located. In 1866, railway wheels and axles began to be manufactured and have been an important part of production ever since.
Towards the end of the 19th century, the sale of railway material declined. The mill's subsidiary Vagnfabriks-Aktiebolaget in Södertälge (Vabis) was therefore looking for new products to sell. The newly hired engineer Gustaf Erikson was sent on a study trip to Europe and back in Surahammar he built Sweden's first internal combustion engine car, which was his own construction with a kerosene engine.[3][4] Vabi's first car hit the market in 1901.
