History

The company was founded in 1899 as a builder of marine engines and the company produced its first boat in 1929. The first fiberglass boat design produced was the Vega 27 in 1965. Some of its later sailboats were produced under contract in Taiwan. The company produced sailboats from 19 to 41 ft (5.8 to 12.5 m) length overall, many of which were designed by Swedish designers Peter Norlin and Per Brohäll.[1][2]

In 2008 the company's brand was purchased by an American company and it was used for a line of powerboats, although the Swedish company ceased to exist.[1][2]
