History
[edit]A. Søeborg's Fabrikker was founded in 1849 by A. Søeborg (1804-1892) in Sølvgade . In 1872, it was ceded to his son F. Søeborg (1840-1917). In 1880, he inaugurated a new factory on Jagtvej in Nørrebro.[1]
In 1903, A. Søeborg's Fabrikker was acquired by MPharm Herluf Rubow (1869-1948). In 1941, it was converted into a limited company (aktieselskab) with MPharm C. N. Korsgaard (born 1903) as CEO of the company.[2] On 23 November 1943, its factory on Jagtvej was hit by fire due to sabotage by the Bopa Group.[3] In 1950 the board consisted of Harry A. Jensen (born 1889), Ove Juel-Christensen (born 1890), E. Trock-Jansen (born 1891) and Paul Wilhjelm (born 1893).[2]
In 1953, it was acquired by Brdr. Metz A/S but continued as an independent brand. On 31 January 1963, it was discontinued but production continued under the name Brdr. E. Metz. The buildings on Jagtvej were sold in 1971.[1]
