    AB Urfabriken (ABU), founded in 1921 by Carl August Borgström in Svängsta, Sweden, initially made precision instruments like watches and taxi meters. When World War II reduced demand, Borgström—a skilled engineer from the Halda watch factory—shifted ABU's focus to fishing reels, gaining global recognition. Abu Garcia was later honored as "Purveyor To The Royal Swedish Court" for exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
