The history of Standardbolag
Lawyer Gustaf Bertil Ihrman, the founder of Svenska Standardbolag AB, had his office in ”The Ihrman villa” in Falun and conducted general legal services during the years of 1921–1953.
How it started
After the war, there was less to do in his business and Ihrman tried to find a new focus of his business. He wanted it to relate to his marketing studies at Columbia University School of Business in New York 1921.
In the year of 1944, after the new Limited Companies act was passed, Ihrman saw an opportunity to realise his idea of shelf companies.
A new idea
At his summer residence on Öland, the idea took its final form; standardisation of creating companies, fixed prices and qualified service were included in the complete ”company package”.
The business activities were conducted through S-bolagen AB until 1954, when the company Svenska Standardbolag AB was formed.
Innovated marketing
The development was progressing rapidly. In 1964 the company had 11 employees, offices covering the entire lower floor of the Ihrman Villa in Falun and a rented office in Stockholm.
The artist Stig Sonesson, Stockholm, was the company’s publicity agent during G B Ihrman’s time. He created the scroll, which is still used in some prints.
New owners
New office
In 1983, the new property next to "The Ihrman villa" in Falun was inaugurated, from where the head office's operations are conducted since then. This is because the business has expanded so much that we no longer had room at the old office.
