Skeppshult

Skeppshult is a Swedish bicycle maker based in Skeppshult in the county of Halland. Albert Samuelsson began building bicycles on a small scale in 1911, and the factory built in the 1920s is still in use. Jonas and Magnus Andersson own and run Skeppshultcykeln AB today.

The company states that all its bikes are made in Skeppshult and nowhere else. They are sold through dealers across Sweden and directly from the factory.

History

The workshop first sold its bikes under the name Skogsstjärnan, not yet under the Skeppshult name. In the 1920s the factory was built and the company was formally called Albert Samuelsson & Co. The bicycle brand Skeppshult appeared from 1945, and the firm became a limited company in 1965. Former owners Kjell Sture and PeO Helge handed the business to the Andersson brothers, and a book about the company's 111-year history has been published.
