– About the Max Manus companies
With the book 70 YEARS OF COMMUNICATION, it is my wish to give the reader an insight into how I, as the second generation in the Max Manus family business, in my 77th year, look back on the development from 1946 to 2016.
Throughout my working life from 1958 I was involved in the companies under the Max Manus umbrella, and daily responsible from 1967 until around 2005, after which the baton passed to the third generation. It was an exciting journey with great challenges, but also very educational and with many satisfactions. Not a single working day was boring. The idea of writing the book came as a result of the fact that in 2016 it is 70 years since my stepfather Max Manus started in the office machine business.
The book gives, beyond the company history, a picture of the challenges I faced. Not least thanks to the head of Max Manus Forskning AS, Bjørn Andersen’s creativity in utilising the new technology of the time within our product areas, one gets a serious impression of our ground-breaking developments in the period from the 1960s until the early years of 2000. The result of the development were often many years ahead of our competitors.
