Thune (company)

Instead, Thune bought the property Kjellebekk at Skøyen in Aker, a more rural municipality that surrounded Kristiania.

[4] Around the turn of the century Thune had become the most important locomotive manufacturer in Norway, along with Hamar Jernstøberi og Mekaniske Verksted.

[citation needed] In 1935 it built the NSB Class 49 locomotive, nicknamed Dovregubben, together with Hamar Jernstøberi.

[1] Thune resumed activity after the war, peaking at a number of about six hundred laborers during the 1950s.

[2] Locally, the area is still known as Thune, the name lent to the Oslo Tramway station east of Skøyen.

Today Thune Eureka still operates true to its Norwegian origins and to its manufacturing essence.
