Söderbloms Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad

Söderbloms Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad (Swedish for "Söderblom's foundry and mechanical workshop") was founded in 1877 in Eskilstuna, Sweden.

The company started manufacturing engines in 1900 with a 1.5 HP air-cooled engine for motorcycles. In 1901, the company started manufacturing automobiles under the leadership of CEO Knut Söderblom and head of sales Oskar Aspeling. The company also hired a German engineer, Bruno Büchner, as head of design. The company primarily built trucks, but also produced two car models, a postal vehicle and several draisines. [cite book
