Intressant. För bara några dagar sedan hade jag anledning att kolla vad Copco (i Atlas Copco) står för:
AB Atlas was founded in 1873 with the mission to manufacture and sell railway equipment. At the time, it was the largest manufacturing company in Sweden. In addition to railroad equipment, AB Atlas manufactured steam engines and fixed steel constructions for bridges, buildings, and church steeples.
In 1898, Marcus Wallenberg acquired the Swedish rights to produce Rudolf Diesel's patented engine. A new company was founded for this: AB Diesels Motorer. In 1917, AB Atlas merged with AB Diesel Motorer, becoming AB Atlas Diesel, with the mission to refine the diesel engine.
From the fifties Atlas was completely focused on compressed air, and the journey to worldwide leadership in this area began. In 1956, this was manifested by changing the company's name to Atlas Copco. "Copco" stands for Compagnie Pneumatique Commerciale, from a Belgian subsidiary.
