Swedish gear-jammer Scania is one of the world's largest heavy-truck and bus manufacturers, hauling in sales from more than 100 countries; it gets about two-thirds of sales in Europe. The company focuses on trucks with gross weights of 16 tons or greater. Scania also makes buses for public transit and tourism, builds industrial and marine engines, and offers maintenance and financing services. It delivers more than 50,000 trucks and 5,500 buses per year. Volkswagen currently owns about 38% of Scania, but it received antitrust approval to up its voting stake to almost 70% at the cost of some $4.4 billion. Once the deal is complete, Scania will remain a separate company located at its current headquarters.

Scania Aktiebolag (publ), commonly referred to as Scania AB, or just Scania, is a global automotive industry manufacturer of commercial vehicles - specifically heavy trucks (British English: lorry, plural: lorries), buses, and diesel engines for motive power of heavy vehicles, marine, and general industrial applications.

Founded in 1891 in Södertälje, Sweden, the company's head office is still in the city. Today, Scania has production facilities in Sweden, France, Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil, Poland, and Russia.[2] In addition, there are assembly plants in ten countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. Scania's sales and service organisation and finance companies are worldwide. In 2008, the company employed approximately 35,000 people around the world.[2] Scania is now majority owned by the German automotive industry conglomerate and holding company Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen AG).

Scania's logo shows a Griffin, from the coat of arms of the Swedish region of Scania (Swedish: Skåne).[6]

History

Scania Type A Tonneau 1903
A vintage Scania truck (L80 successor to the Scania-Vabis L56)

Scania AB (Scania is Latin for the province of Skåne) came from a merger between the two companies; Vabis and Scania.

Vabis and Scania

Vabis (Vagnsfabriksaktiebolaget i Södertälje) was founded in 1891 as a subsidiary of Södertälje based steel company Surahammars Bruk, manufacturing railway carriages.[7] In 1902, engineer Gustaf Erikson designed the company's first truck, powered by a petrol engine and two-speed gearbox. A year later, the first order was placed for a Vabis commercial vehicle.[7] By 1907, the company had developed a 3-ton truck, however, though it won a Swedish Royal Automobile Club award in 1909, the new range was a financial disaster for the company, failing to attract more than a handful of orders.[7]

Maskinfabriks-aktiebolaget Scania was founded in 1900 in Malmö in the south of Sweden, and was in the beginning a manufacturer of bicycles,[7] but by 1903 the first cars left the factory. Two years later, Scania built their first truck.[6]

Merger

Following the financial problems at Vabis, the companies merged in 1911,[6] creating AB Scania-Vabis. Engine and car production was moved to Södertälje, and truck production took place in Malmö.[7]

World War I and 1920s

For the next few years the company's profits stagnated, with around a third of their orders coming from abroad.[7] The outbreak of World War I, however, changed the company, with almost all output being diverted to the Swedish Army. By 1916, Scania-Vabis was making enough profit to invest in redeveloping both of their production facilities.[7]

Following the war, in 1919, Scania decided to focus completely on building trucks, abandoning other outputs including cars and buses.[7] However, they were hurt by the swamping of the market with decommissioned military vehicles from the war, and by 1921 the company was bankrupt.[6]

After some economic difficulties in 1921, new capital came from Stockholms Enskilda Bank owned by the Wallenberg family, and Scania-Vabis became a solid and technically, high standing, company.

Denmark

Towards the end of 1913, the company established a subsidiary in Denmark. The following year the first Danish-built car, a four-seater Phaeton, was built at the company's Frederiksberg factory in Copenhagen. In 1914, the factory produced Denmark's first Scania-Vabis truck, and following this developed a V8 engine, one of the first in the world. In 1921, having sold around 175 trucks, and 75 cars, the Danish operation was closed down.[6]

1930s and 1940s

During World War II Scania produced a variety of military vehicles for the Swedish Army, including Stridsvagn m/41 light tanks produced under license.[6]

1950s and 1960s

During the 1950s, the company expanded its operations into new customer segments, becoming agents for the Willys Jeep and the Volkswagen Beetle, the latter being very profitable for Scania-Vabis. It also started to become a genuine competitor to Volvo with their new Regent truck which was introduced in 1954.[8]

During this period, Scania-Vabis was to expand its dealer network, and country-wide specialist workshop facilities. By the end of the '50s, their market-share in Sweden was between 40 to 50%, and was achieving 70% in the heaviest truck sector - helped by the entrepreneurial efforts of their dealers into the haulier market.[8]

Probably their largest impact was in export markets. Before 1950, exports accounted for only 10 percent of production output, but a decade later, exports were now at 50% of output. Beers in the Netherlands became a very important partner. Beers became official importers for Scania-Vabis in the Netherlands, and established a dealer network, along with training programmes for both mechanics and drivers. Beers also offered free twice-yearly overhauls of their customers vehicles, and offered a mobile service throughout the Netherlands with their custom-equipped service trucks. Due to Beers concerted efforts, Scania-Vabis market share in the country remained at a consistent 20% throughout this period. Scania-Vabis were to adopt the business model of Beers in their own overseas sales operations.[8]

The 1960s saw Scania-Vabis expanding its production operations into overseas locations. Until now, all Scania-Vabis production had been carried out solely at Södertälje, but the '60s saw the need to expand production overseas. Brazil was becoming a notable market for heavy trucks, and was also dependent on inter-urban buses, with particular requirement for Brazils mountainous roads which became nigh-on impassable at times.[9] Scania-Vabis established its first production plant outside Södertälje, by building a new facility at São Bernardo do Campo in Brazil, which was completed in 1962, and this was to set the standard for Scania-Vabis international operations.[9]

Closer to home, the recently formed European Economic Community (EEC) offered further opportunities. Based on their now strong presence in the Dutch markets, Scania-Vabis constructed a new plant in Zwolle, which was completed in 1964.[9] This new Dutch facility provided Scania-Vabis with a stepping stone into the other five EEC countries, particularly the German and French markets.[9]

In 1966, Scania-Vabis acquired ownership of a then valuble competitor - Be-Ge Karosserifabrik, who were based in Oskarshamn. Be-Ge had been making truck cabs since 1946, and had been supplying cabs not only to Scania-Vabis, but also to their Swedish competitors Volvo. If was normal practice for truck manufacturers to outsource production of cabs to independent bodybuilders, so their acquisition by Scania-Vabis seemed a good move.[9] Be-Ge owner Bror Göthe Persson had also established an additional cab factory at Meppel.[9]

Scania-Vabis continued their expansion of production facilities through acquisitions. In 1967, they acquired Katrineholm based coachwork company Svenska Karosseri Verkstäderna, and created a new subsidiary, Scania-Bussar. A year later, all bus production, along with R&D was moved to Katrineholm.[9] Further production locations were added at Sibbhult and Falun, and Scanias employee numbers rose, particularly at Södertälje, which was to help double the towns population.[9]

Saab-Scania AB

In 1969, Scania-VABIS merged with SAAB, and formed Saab-Scania AB. When Saab-Scania was split in 1995, the name of the truck and bus division changed simply to Scania AB. One year later, Scania AB was introduced on the stock exchange, which resulted in a minor change of name to Scania AB (publ).

Many examples of Scania, Vabis and Scania-Vabis commercial and military vehicles can be seen at the Marcus Wallenberg-hallen (the Scania Museum) in Södertälje.

Ownership

Aborted Volvo takeover

On 7 August 1999, Volvo announced it had agreed to acquire a majority share in Scania. Volvo was to buy the 49.3% stake in Scania that was owned by Investor AB, Scania's main shareholder. The acquisition, for $7.5 billion (60.7 billion SEK), would have created the world's second-largest manufacturer of heavy trucks, behind DaimlerChrysler. The cash for the deal came from Volvo selling its car division to Ford in January 1999, but the deal had yet to be appproved by the European Union.[10]

The deal eventually failed, after the European Union had disapproved of the affair, saying it would create a company with almost 100% market share[11] in the Nordic markets.[citation needed]

Aborted MAN takeover

In September 2006, the German truckmaker MAN AG launched a 10.3bn hostile offer to acquire Scania AB. Scania's CEO Leif Östling was forced to apologise for comparing the bid of MAN to a "Blitzkrieg". MAN AG later dropped its hostile offer, but in January 2008, MAN increased their voting rights in Scania up to 17%.

Scania ownership today

The two major stockholders of Scania AB are:

  • The German automotive conglomerate Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen AG) is Scania's biggest shareholder, with a 70.94% voting stake (equity) in Scania. It gained this by first buying Volvo's stake in 2000, after the latter's aborted takeover attempt, increasing it to 36.4% in the first quarter 2007,[12] and then buying the remainder from Investor AB in March 2008.[13] The deal was approved by regulatory bodies in July 2008.[11] Scania AB then became the ninth marque in the Volkswagen Group.[14]
  • The German truck manufacturer MAN AG holds a 17.37% voting stake in Scania. Notably, Volkswagen Group[11] also owns a 29.9% voting stake in MAN, acquired in Q1 2007.[12]

Current shareholders

Scania AB has a total issue of 400 million 'A shares' and 400 million 'B shares', with a total capitalised value of SEK 70,000 million.[15] In terms of voting rights, one 'A share' is eligible for one vote, whereas 10 'B shares' are required for one vote.[16]

As of 31 August 2009 (2009 -08-31), these shares are allocated to 119,414 owners, and the table below details the top ten shareholders.[15]
