History of Geijer
C. Geijer & Co was founded in 1869 by Carl Axel Geijer in Kristiania for the purpose of driving an iron and metal wholesale business.
The company started producing fences and gates, as well as later car parts and cars.
A/S C. Geijer & Co became one of Norway's leading companies in the industry, primarily producing various types of steel wire fences, barbed wire, and gates.
The company sold fence materials through wholesalers across the country and delivered complete fences to the state, municipalities, and private and industrial companies.

In 1908, Carl Axel Geijer created the company Den Norske Jernsengfabrik A/S, which began producing car and bus bodywork and spare parts in 1918.
The company's production expanded to include car and bus bodywork and spare parts, making it one of the leading companies in the industry.
In 1923, the company changed its name to C. Geijer & Co's Bilfabrik AS and started working on its own car model.
The first prototype of the Geijer car was presented to the public in late 1923.

Geijer Production
A total of 24 Geijer-bilers were registered in Norway, with the possibility of 25 being produced including a 1923 prototype.
The production of Geijer-bilers was not particularly profitable, making it difficult to compete with American cars that had high production numbers and lower prices.
In the spring of 1930, the production of Geijer-bilers was abruptly stopped due to Oslo municipality expropriating a part of the factory's land in St. Halvardsgate 35-39.

The company produced around 300 bus carriages between 1921 and 1930, with the largest customer being Ingeniør M. O. Schøyens Bilcentraler A/S in Oslo, which purchased at least 56 buses.
The production of bus carriages was more successful than the production of cars, and Geijer became one of the leading producers of bus carriages in the country.
In 1983, the company started a collaboration with Trondhjems Jernindustri, but the company's financial situation worsened in the 1980s, and in 1989, it was sold to the Swedish company Gunnebo.
