1960’s & 1970’s

During the 1960s and 1970s manufacturing of portable power distribution centres started on subcontract followed by multiple outlet sockets and heating fans as our own products. The company moved to Prästvägen in Anderstorp.

The son, Björn Enocson, took over the company and the company started manufacturing portable power distribution centres as its own products. We were then 6 employees.The name El-Björn AB was taken in 1983. 1984 Gårö El AB acquired the company.In 1986 we moved to new premises on Depågatan in Anderstorp where we are still located and have been expanded over the years.
