Assa Abloy is Swedish company that was formed 1994 when Swedish company Assa and Finnish company Abloy merged together. The Finnish Company name Abloy came from words Aktiebolag Låsfabriken-Lukkotehdas Osakeyhtiö and has evolved to form short version of Abloy. Both Aktiebolag (Ab) and Osakeyhtiö (Oy) means stock company in Swedish and in Finnish. Words Låsfabriken and Lukkotehdas are Swedish and Finnish versions for lock factory represented as single L in the middle.

The Assa part comes from the capital letters of the founder's name (much like Ikea comes from the founder's name and hometown), and the Abloy part is basically a mix of the Swedish (AB) and Finnish (OY) ways of saying "corp", as in a company name (for example, H&M's proper name is H&M Hennes & Mauritz AB).

ASSA Abloy is a fusion of the Swedish company ASSA and the Finnish company Abloy, both very big at the European market for door locks and padlocks, especially in the nordic nations. After the fusion (1994) it has been larger at the European and international market.

It actually makes total sense to mix up Nordic aesthetics to Korean and Japanese aesthetics. So no shame there really. Finnish has even more surprising cultural similarity to these Asian cultures and the japanise language can look and sound similar. And Japanese people especially love Finnish stuff and wise versa.

@ShadowManceri

Finnish people also have shared genetics with Asian countries way more than other European countries. Reason is that people from Asian countries traveled to Finland early times but didn't really go much further. Other European countries are more germanic for example. It's somewhat unique position and basically explain why Finland is similar to other Nordic countries, but has this weird twist that makes them bit different.

I sometimes wonder how many people in the US know that the english language "evolved" to pronounce vowels differently than related languages in Europe, linguists call it "the Great Vowel Shift". So if you try to pronounce european words as if they were written in English then you will most likely pronounce it wrong.

It does have a meaning. Assa Abloy is a fusion of two different companies; Swedish Assa (which was a spinoff from the Swedish company security company Securitas) who later merged with the Finnish(!) high security lock manufacturer ABLOY. The name ABLOY is actually an acronym. AB Lukkoset Oy, AB = Aktiebolaget (aktie = stock, bolag = company, i.e. a publicly traded company), Lukkoset (Finnish word for locks) and OY = Osakeyhtiö (same as AB but in Finnish, so Osake = stock and Yhtiö = company). You will see this naming convention for most Finnish companies as it's a bilingual country (Swedish and Finnish), so for instance you could call Nokia (which is a Finnish brand) AB Nokia OY, or OY Nokia AB, or even Nokia AB OY or Nokia OY AB.

Assa Abloy makes more than just door locks. They make loading docks for trucks at goods terminals, for example. Autoliv is also a Swedish company. They make safety features for most leading car brands. Autoliv, as we know it today, was founded in 1997, by merging Autoliv AB with Morton ASP. Their first factory was built in Vårgårda. The company later invented curtain side airbags, active seatbelt (automatically locks before it thinks it will crash), Night Vision in BMWs, pedestrian airbags under the hood, etc. The inventor for the adjustable wrench and pipe wrench was also born in Vårgårda. He founded Enköpings Mekaniska Verkstad. B.A. Hjort & Company was the distributer for the tools he made under the trademark Bahco. SAAB even has it's country of origin in its name: Svenska Aeroplan AB (Swedish Aeroplane AB). These madlads made the first jet fighter with a swept back wing (SAAB J29 Tunnan/Barrel aka Flygande Tunnan/Flying Barrel). Later on they decided to try their hand on car manufacturing and they were really good at it, even using the experience they had making fighter jets to make the cars. Night mode in later SAABs are actually a feature first introduced into fighter jets as to not blind the pilot and make flying at night easier. SAABs car business was then run into the ground by GM. Sadly, Konkurrensverket (Swedish Competition Authority) did not allow Christian Von Koenigsegg to buy SAABs car production.

@@herrbonk3635 I know this, but back when Jutes and Angles were a thing, there were no Northern Germanic languages. If we have to classify English as a Northern Germanic language just because Anglo-Saxons came from Denmark/Northern Germany, then why isn't German considered a Northern Germanic language? Genuine question.

One of the most used swedish inventions world wide every day is Nils Bolins 3-point seatbelt in cars. Nils was an engineer at Volvo and made an open patent on the belt so everyone can use the design since 1959. It’s called Volvos gift to the world! They could have made BILLIONS but gave it away for free.

Your way to say fjällräven is soooo funny🤣

I don’t want to be mean, but her pronunciation of Fjällräven was shameful. She was throwing in letters that aren’t there. Just sound the word out. Even if you don’t know how to deal with umlauts, you can get close.

@@MrBallistico Yeah. Especially when she mentioned on the other video that she took an interest on Swedish culture early on, at least having general an idea of the Swedish language would be given and I was assuming that wouldn't be that big of a challenge for her in guessing Swedish pronunciation. She is pretty clueless lol But that's ok! At least this is a learning situation for her...I'd hope so.

Isn't Ericsson (the phone company) also a Swedish brand? Swedish surnames commonly have -son (male) and -dotter (female) in the end, right?

Yea. It is. Ericsson is indeed a Swedish company. About the names though. Son is a very common ending in Swedish surnames. Dotter (meaning daughter) was used until the big name shift that we had a little more than hundred years ago. Nowadays it’s not or less only found in Iceland. The KZreadr K Klein has a really good video where he talks about it.

Ericsson. Perhaps not any longer since there are no more Ericsson Cellphones, but they used to be pretty big in Brazil. Had a few plants in Brazil back in the day at least.

I speak Swedish. Guess I'm just here for Oskar haha

Assa is formed from the founder August Stenman. Abloy is a finnish company, originally called "Ab Låsfabriken-Lukkotehdas Oy", where AB means Inc (or Ltd) in Swedish and OY means the same in finnish. The double name in the middle mean "Lock factory" in first swedish, then finnish. This is common practise in Finland, literally it is "Inc Lock factory-lock factory Inc". It was then shortened to AB Lukko OY and shortened again to ABLOY.

This is fun to watch

As a owner of a Volvo XC60, I listen to Spotify in my XC60 everyday! Especially during my monthly visit to IKEA 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪

I would like to hear him speaker swedish for more than one word, because to me his accent sounded kinda weird compared ro what i’m used to hearing. (I’m Norwegian so i’ve heard some but not a lot)

3:00 is the best pronunciation of "IKEA" I have ever heard from a non-Swedish person.

For any Americans watching, When you pronounce Ikea you should switch the first letter '' I '' with the letter '' E ''. your way of pronouncing '' E '' sounds like how swedes pronounces the letter '' i ''

Skype is not really Swedish! It was developed by one Swede (Niklas Zennström), one Dane (Janus Friis) and 4 Estonians (Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, Jaan Tallinn and I believe the fourth was Toivo Annus). Most of the development team and about 45% of Skype's employees are based in Estonia! (Estonia is a very small country that borders Russia to the East, Finland across the Gulf of Finland to the North, Sweden across the Baltic sea to the West and Latvia to the South)

Stolen valor! The Idea of Skype was Danish where Janus Friis had already developed KaZaA. The development was primarily Estonian and Finnish. The Swedish guy was meh just paddling as a co-developper.

Skype was actually a collaboration between a swede, dane and an Estonian.

Nord is also a Swedish brand. Maybe non-musicians don’t know that but Nord keyboards are extremely high quality. Every single musician agrees that they are phenomenal and a reference among professionals. You see it absolutely everywhere on stage.

Sky has to have some swedish genes or something cause her pronunciation was spot on

She was seriously impressive at pronouncing the names.
