A.A. Jansson, Inc.
Location
C.E. Johansson, "Father of Measurement", of Eskilstuna, Sweden, devoted many years of labor and research to reducing the inaccuracies of the Mid 1800s measuring devices such as the micrometer and the caliper.
In 1897 he produced his first set of precision gage blocks, guaranteed to have an error of less than .000016" per inch of length. Fourteen years later, with a small team of workers, gage blocks were ready to be produced in commercial quantities. Among those first developers working beside C.E. Johansson was Sven Lundquist (pictured above, farthest to the right). In 1923 Sven brought his family and knowledge to Dearborn, Michigan, to manage the Ford Motor Johansson Gage Block Division. In 1961 Sven's sons, Arne and Eric Lundquist, formed A.A. Jansson, Inc. Over the years our company has grown and diversified within the measuring field. Today we carry a complete line of measuring products as well as perform numerous types of calibration services.
From 1971 to 1999 Arne's son, Karl Lundquist, served as president of A.A. Jansson. During that time, the company evolved into a full service and sales company employing up to 48 employees. In keeping with the family tradition, A.A. Jansson is currently owned and operated by the Great-Grandchildren of Sven Lundquist, Eric and Alison Lundquist. Their family commitment to quality ensures you the best possible service for your measuring needs and instruments.
