Centennial Celebrations 1995

ÅF celebrates its 100th Jubilee and reports new record-breaking earnings. The Group is now in an expansive phase and adds a further 370 new recruits to its payroll.

The jubilee is celebrated with an array of different activities for both co-workers and clients, shareholders and other stakeholders. On 23 February, the company's 100th birthday, a commemorative plaque is unveiled on the facade of the building in Malmö, close to the city's Savoy Hotel, where "The Southern Swedish Steam Generator Association" was formed in 1895.

In August the "Party of the Century" gets underway in Frösundavik, Stockholm, for ÅF employees and their partners - 2,300 people in all! The ice-breaker Sankt Erik sails the length of the Swedish coast, stopping to welcome clients on board in some 15 Swedish harbours. The National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm arranges a jubilee exhibition to mark the occasion.

The centennial celebrations culminate in September with a seminar on the environment at the National Museum of Science and Technology, at which His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden presents the first of the newly established prizes for technical education and the dissemination of technical knowledge awarded by the Ångpanneföreningen Foundation for Research & Development. The first prizewinners are Thomas Welander and Anders Axelsson, both doctors of technology at Lund University.
