History
The company was founded in 1897 by a local farmer's son, Albin Grönberg.
Originally, the business was centered around work connected with the local metal forge
and repairs of agricultural machinery. Around 1920, the company branched out and
began manufacturing simple threshing machines.
In 1927, the foundry began operating. This
enabled the company to begin manufacturing of straw fans and grits mills.
The 1930's was a time of considerable expansion for the company. With the increase
of popularity of the combine harvester the need for straw choppers arose.
The production of these started around 1950 and they have remained the core of the company's engineering manufacturing line.
The company was owned and
operated by the Grönberg
family for three generations (right up to 1983 in fact, when the company was
taken over by Karl-Erik & Arne Bender). In 1988, Sven Johan Persson acquired
Rekordverken which then became part of the group of companies known as Runstenengruppen.
Today, Rekordverken's manufactured
products are mainly straw choppers, chaff spreaders and wrappers for square bales.
Since 1992, the company has gone on to manufacturing of the Vestmek range of
products which includes transport fans for silage and hay, hay distributors,
dischargers, belt conveyers, silage handling equipment for silos, bale choppers and so
on. The total number of employees has been increasing over the years and is now
around 70.
