|
| In 1943 Isidor Feingold, a trained glassblower, started the enterprise which was to be the foundation of the present company, Termometerfabriken Viking AB. | |
| The thermometers were produced manually, the cappilaries were handblown and attached to a scale printed on a straight wooden or metalplate. | |
| Later Isidor Feingold adapted the bimetal spring for thermometers and the round thermometer was born. | |
| The son, Sigurd Feingold, took over the business in 1976 and continues the expansion with a powerful digital programme and increased export. in 2000 the total turnover was SEK 50 million (appr. USD 5 million), 50% being export. |
