Who was Sven Wingquist? A relevant question to ask today, but 70 years ago he was a given. The gray eminence who held a mythical position in industrial Sweden. The creation of Svenska Kullagerfabriken was his breakthrough as the industrial universal genius. He was the inventor, founder, designer, marketer, production engineer, business builder and industrialist. A company he developed into Sweden's first international industrial giant, all within the course of twelve hectic years. This at a time of transition when Sweden was making the journey from an agricultural and farming community to an industrial nation, and when world wars and revolutions shook the world. The project will take about 5 years of fact-finding and script-writing to prepare for the printing of a high-quality biography.
