Koenigsegg Automotive AB

Koenigsegg Automotive AB is a leading Swedish manufacturer of high-performance sports cars for the select elite class that is based in Ängelholm. It was founded in the year 1994 in Sweden by Christian von Koenigsegg with the aim of creating a world-class “supercar”. Many years of meticulous development and prototyping ultimately led to the very first street-legal production car delivery in 2002 to an anticipating purchaser. Norwegian designer and industrialist Bård Eker had bought a 45 percent share in the company in late 2005, and is at present the prime owner with 49 percent. Christian von Koenigsegg owns around 18 percent of it, the balance of the stock is held by some 90 small investors.
