(section requires rewriting)

In 1962, AB Åkermans Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad built their first hydraulic excavator, while AB Landsverk introduced its own in 1968. In 1972, excavator production at AB Landsverk was transferred to AB Åkermans Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad.(from Volvo /History)

In 1991 AB Åkermans Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad became a part of VME Group.

After building excavators since 1939 Åkermans experienced engineers started working under a new brand, Volvo, in 1997.

In 1998 the Samsung Heavy Industries Construction Equipment Division in Korea was acquired.

In 1999 the first two models EC210 and EC240 were launched. They were built in the modern Changwon factory in South Korea. They were productive and reliable machines with even better operator comfort, servo-assisted hydraulics and new attachment bracket amongst other improvments.
