 Ericsson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ericsson (Telefonaktiebolaget L. Ericsson) NASDAQ: ERICY is a Swedish telecommunications equipment manufacturer, founded in 1876 as a telegraph equipment repair shop by Lars Magnus Ericsson.
In 1928 Ericsson began its long tradition of "A" and "B" shares, where an "A" share comes with 1000 votes against a "B" share, so Wincrantz was actually only controlling a few "A" shares, giving him control of the company whilst not actually controlling a majority of the shares.
After Kreuger's suicide in 1932, ITT owned one third of Ericsson, but was forbidden to exercise this ownership because of a paragraph in the articles of association stating that no foreign investor was allowed to control more than 20% of the votes.

London: Ending more than six months of uncertainty over the future of one of Britain's historic companies, the Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson has agreed to pay £1.2bn for the bulk of its rival Marconi.
The deal brings together the names of two of the most famous men in the industry: the radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi and Lars Magnus Ericsson, who set up an electro-mechanical repair shop in 1876.
The trade union Amicus said it would be seeking talks with Ericsson over jobs and the retention of skills, research and development in the UK.

Several types of transportable telephones for military purposes had been developed by LME during the 1890s, bought by the Swedish Military.

I was saddened to hear the news that Marconi had been sold to Ericsson of Sweden, thus relegating over 100 years of innovation in electronics to history.
I hope the new company keeps all the historical artefacts that were associated with the Italian founder, Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio and consequently the inventor of our trade.
The sale solves the pension fund problem and perhaps it is appropriate that Ericsson was founded by another pioneer, Lars Magnus Ericsson, who first set up his workshop at around the same time as Marconi.
