Poster with a picture from Aktiebolaget Malmö Strumpfabrik in 1942. The company was founded in 1926 by wholesaler Kurt Levin. The business grew rapidly and the factory was the first in Sweden to manufacture natural silk stockings.
Their brands such as Nivella and Vogue were well-known products during the interwar period of the 1930s. However, when nylon was introduced in 1939, it took time for the product to gain popularity due to the ongoing Second World War.
The factory's own production of nylon stockings and later nylon trousers took off in the early 1950s and the company developed the nylon stocking and acquired new machinery for production.
Malmö Strumpfabrik was closed in January 1992 when the last shift clocked out. The factory was popularly called Strumpan.
Here is a picture from the production where the nylon stockings are pre-formed on the shapes of women's legs. They are exposed to steam to fix them and the shape and stitches are precisely executed so that they cannot shrink. 1942
