Svenska Aeroplan AB (aktiebolaget), Saab was founded in 1937 in Trollhättan, Sweden with the merger of Saab and the Linköping based ASJA. The headquarters moved to Linköping. Originally manufacturing airplanes, the company sought ways in which to diversify its business and in the late 1940s began manufacturing automobiles. The Saab Automobile division was based in Trollhättan. The first car was the Saab 92001 on 10 June 1947. The company soon developed a reputation for safe and reliable automobiles, with a notable competition history.

In May 1965, the company name was changed to Saab AB to reflect its broad range of activities. In 1968 Saab AB merged with the truck maker Scania-Vabis, and between 1969 and 1995 the company was called Saab-Scania AB. General Motors bought 51 percent of the automobile division Saab Automobile in 1990, and acquired the rest a decade later.
