Sigurd 'Carl Thore' Lindkvist was born in 1916 in Åmål, Sweden. Lindkvist worked for the lighting firm Luko, before joining Granhaga Metallindustri AB in 1961 as Head of Sales and Lighting Design. Lindkvist apparently adopted the pseudonym Carl Thore when he was presenting his lights to a client.

Granhaga Metallindustri AB was founded after World War II in 1947 and was managed by Sven Persson. The company was located in Töreboda, Sweden, a locality with some 4700 inhabitants (2017). Töreboda is the hometown of the famous punkband Asta Kask.

Granhaga Metallindustri merged in 1979 with Hermanders Metallindustri AB and renamed in Nordsales Granhaga AB. 

Folke Hermansson and Hugo Andersson started Hermanders Metallindustri AB in 1951.

Nordsales Granhaga AB filed bankruptcy in 1989.

In 1989 Hermanders AB was purchased by Töreboda Skrotaffär. Hermanders AB filed for bankruptcy in 1991. Nya Hermanders AB starts with new owners Jan Engström and Göran Johansson. In the next years the company expanded to what it is today.
