Volvo's founders
Volvo was incorporated in 1915 as a subsidiary of AB SKF, the Swedish ball bearing manufacturer.
In 1924, Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, the two founders, decided to start construction of a Swedish car.
Volvo was officially founded on April 14, 1927, when the first car left the factory in Hisingen, Göteborg.
