Albin Marine was a Swedish boat builder. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats.
In 1899, Lars Albin Larsson founded Albin Motors in Kristinehamn, building marine engines. In 1956, the managing director Lars Larsson decided to get into the boat business and started Larsson Trade AB to export boats built by Harry Hallberg to the United States of America. In 1964, the company decided to build its own fiberglass boats, first with the Vega 27 in 1965. In 1971, the company was renamed to Albin Marin. [1] [2] Some of its later sailboats were produced under contract in Taiwan. The company produced sailboats from 19 to 41 ft (5.8 to 12.5 m) length overall, many of which were designed by Swedish designers Peter Norlin and Per Brohäll . [3] [4]
In 1973, Albin Marin was sold to Pribo, and in 1982, Albin Marine filed for bankruptcy. The insolvency assets was bought to create Nya Albin Marin, and further boats were produced, later also by other boat builders. [2] [5] In 2008 the company's brand was purchased by an American company and it was used for a line of powerboats. [3] [4]
