"[1] Success and expansion in the latter 1950s led management to begin planning for the Torslanda Plant in 1959 in a rural area that had been intended by city planners as a future industrial use.
As well, infrastructure had already been in place, the port and the open sea were nearby, and the city of Göteborg’s airport was also located in Torslanda.
Production on a smaller scale had actually begun in 1962, when approximately a third of the factory was ready to assemble Amazons.
By 1998, the plant received carefully coordinated parts deliveries from the nearby supplier park in Arendal.
