BIOGRAPHICAL: Carl Fredriksons
Träförädlings Aktiebolag was a Swedish wood
industry company. Founded in 1876 in Katrineholm by Carl Fredrikson as Carl
Fredrikson's Carpentry Factory. It was one of the major industries in the newly
established municipal community of Katrineholm (founded along the railway town
only from 1917). Among other things, they manufactured furniture and were
Swedish pioneers in ready-to-assemble houses .The company was bought up in 1918
but was later recreated under different names. Since the 1970s, the
business has been part of the Mälarskog Group.
