Retrospective The ASEA company was formed in the beginning of 1883, one of the chief objects development being the utilization of the great inventions of one of the founders, Jonas Wenström, now recognised to have been one of the foremost pioneers in the field of applied electricity.

The first plant was built in Arboga on a very small scale, with a share capital of 84,000 Sw. Kronor and a production of a few dynamos per annum. Since the removal of the works to Västerås, however, in 1892, the expansion has been continuous and fairly rapid resulting in the present position of the company as the largest electrical firm of Northern Europe.
