Finnish Swedish engineer
Bruno V. Nordberg, (April 11, 1857 – October 30, 1924) was a Finnish Swedish engineer that emigrated to the United States and founded the Nordberg Manufacturing Company.[1][2]
Nordberg was born in Turku.[3] He studied from 1875 to 1879 at the Polytechnical School (Finnish: Polyteknillinen koulu, Swedish: Polytekniska skolan) in Helsinki, Finland (later Helsinki University of Technology).[3][4]
After his studies, he emigrated to the United States in 1880 and started working at the E. P. Allis Company in Milwaukee.[3][4] He founded his own company, the Bruno V. Nordberg Company, in 1886. The company manufactured a cutoff governor for steam engines Nordberg had invented. In 1890, it moved to a larger facility under the Nordberg Manufacturing Company name.[3][5]
Nordberg died at his home in Milwaukee after an illness of two years in 1924.[3][4]
