Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad, a shipbuilding company existing in Gothenburg from 1850 to 1979
In 1915 Eriksberg underwent massive developments to accommodate production of larger ships after a major takeover of the corporation's stocks by Dan Broström.

In this regard, Eriksberg had an advantage through the direct-ownership by the Broström family (later through their listed mother company Ångfartygsaktiebolaget Tirfing).
