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.
