Storebro Industrier AB – The Company in Sweden
Storebro Industry AB was established in 1991 by Hans Åhsgren after the closure of Storebro Machine Tools ( former Storebro Bruks ). The new company acquired the right to produce all manual Storebro machine tools. Since then the business has mainly turned to the reconditioning of machine tools, manufacturing and stockholding of spare parts, and the sales and service of new and old machine tools.
When it comes to reconditioning of midsized machinetools we are the largest company in Sweden today. Acquisition of different machine tool brands has included many of the most well-known Swedish machine tool brands. Lathes account for approximately half of our reconditioning business with the remainder on milling and grinding machines respectivly.

Investment

The production of all parts was localized to Valdemarsvik. a smaller community on the east coast. approx. 250 km south of Stockholm. In the early 80s, it was decided to gather the entire operation in Valdemarsvik, which in recent times was the place where the machines were final assembled and checked before delivery until the bankruptcy in July 2020. After the bankruptcy of Abene Machines, all spare parts and documentation were moved to VEMU’s facility in Ulricehamn. Where future operations are to be conducted.
