Thune [SEP] History
It traced its roots to a workshop founded by Anders Paulsen Thune in 1815 in Drammen. Anders Paulsen Thune was a blacksmith by profession. His son took over the enterprise, and in 1851 they moved to Christiania. By 1870 the production facilities were located in the street "Ruseløkkveien". In 1871 Andreas Lauritz Thune, grandson of the founder, took over. The facilities were almost immediately moved to the nearby street "Munkedamsveien". He started production of agricultural machinery and steam engines. Locomotive production began in the 1890s. Eventually, the locale in "Munkedamsveien" became too small for large-scale industrial production. Located in the centre of the city, it was difficult to expand.
