Wickström is a Finnish family, originally from Swedish speaking Ostrobothnia associated with the production of automobiles and maritime engines.

The low powered engines where known for their durability, said to "last for three generations".Fact|date=July 2007 Between 1906-1980, a total of 30,000 motors were manufactured.
