It all began in the early seventies...
...Lennart Krusman, the founder of the company, realised tapped drinking
water which is kept running to get cold would become an expensive deal.
He began to import water coolers from the US and succeeded in convincing
the market about the sound idea of letting a machine cool the drinking
water to the most suitable temperature.
Of course it didn’t take long before he got competitors, some of
them wanting to sell the water packaged, yes they even imported water
(!)
Soon the company in America– Haws International – wanted
Lennart Krusman to introduce their eye washes and emergency showers
to the market. Since the 1920:s, Haws International has been building
emergency showers are one of the leading companies in this area, in
the world.
Lennart accepted the challenge with great enthusiasm and found a new
lifelong project.
He enjoyed pioneer work, and here he had to butt and wrestle with the
authorities in order to establish some kind of standards, similar to
the ones in the US. Finally he succeeded in becoming the leading company
on the Swedish market. In 1986, Krusman Nödduschar AB, started
their own production, at first in co-operation with Haws International.
The market expanded successively all over Scandinavia to finally take
a step over to the rest of the European market. Krusman became one of
the few approved suppliers to the oil platforms in the North Sea.
The total experience, the high quality products and the ambition to
always give the client the best possible solution, have resulted in
improvement of “old” products and of course the development
of new ones. This together makes a good foundation to build and work
further on into the future.
Today Krusman Nödduschar owns Pan Atlantic AB, a company well
known for its water coolers. Therefor, the two companies have now purified
their businesses and nowdays Krusman manufactures and distributes the
emergency equipment only. |
