Skånska Cementaktiebolaget was founded in 1871. Skånska Cementgjuteriet became independent in 1887, and Svenska Cementförsäljningsaktiebolaget Cementa was formed in 1893 to co-ordinate marketing. The 1924 foundation of Skånska Cement A/B appears to concern shipping alone. Lloyd’s dates its change to Cementa to 1947, but Rosanoski questions this because ships remained under the former name until about 1970; other accounts give 1969.
Slite Cement & Kalk began shipping with the sailing vessel Fredrika in 1917 and apparently joined interests with Skånska Cement after the war. Ships were based first in Malmö, then Stockholm from 1976 and Slite from 1986, although Lloyd’s continued to give Stockholm. Managers recorded in the 1950s include E. Wehtje and Arendt de Jounge, each handling part of the fleet in 1958–59. Vessel names mainly ended in vik.
Cementa acquired Gullhögen in 1973, when Euroc became its parent. The accounts differ over the operating names: one gives Skånska Cement becoming Industri A/B Euroc in 1973 and Cementa in 1979. Euroc merged with Aker in 1996 as Scancem; Heidelberger Zement and Cimenteries CBR acquired a majority in 1999. Elias Granqvist reported in 2000 that Scancem apparently no longer owned ships, while Lloyd’s continued to show Cementa’s fleet. Torvald Klaveness took over on 1 September 2003. By April 2005 the fleet was listed under Klaveness Cement Logistics A/B, formed in 2003, probably reflecting the takeover.
Sweden, Målmo; Stockholm is also recorded.
