History
Frognerkilens Fabrikk was founded in 1874 with focus on agricultural machinery. In 1881 it started production of the first electric motor and in 1894 it changed its name to Norsk Elektrisk A/S.[1] Cooperation with Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC) started in 1905 and in 1908 BBC bought the company, giving it the name NEBB.[2] In 1948 NEBB acquired Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk that made railway wagons, merging the two companies,[3] though Skabo is closed and sold to Strømmens Værksted in 1973.[2] In 1979 Strømmens Værksted was bought by NEBB.[4] In 1988 BBC merged with ASEA to found Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) and NEBB was merged into the new corporation, losing its former own identity. Today NEBB is part of Bombardier Transportation.
