May 1945 three Norwegian sailors arrived in Gothenburg, Sweden, driven on the white buses of the Folke Bernadotte. One of the sailors was wireless operator Frithjof Edwardsen from Mandal, Norway.

Mr. Edwardsen and his two sailor friends stayed in Gothenburg for a while, renting an apartment. Mr. Edwardsen and his brother one day visited the Swedish Loudspeaker Company. Whilst waiting outside the company, the Swedish brothers Ununger pointed at Mr. Edwardsen and told him; “you will produce loudspeakers in Norway”.

March the 1st 1946 DNH A/S was founded, with 50% shares belonging to the Swedish Loudspeaker Company. They rented a small building in Odins Road, Oslo. The production could begin.

One of Mr. Edwardsens sailor friends, Mr. Storm Paulsen, could never stop talking about the beauty of the village of Krageroe. In the winter of 1947/48 DNH A/S moved to Krageroe, where old barracks from the war were empty. Along with Mr. Edwardsen followed Mr. Gotun, the car mechanic and Mr. Edwardsens two sailor friends from the war accompanied him.

All of the manufacturing process was undertaken in the factory, such as punching frames, moulding spiders, making coils, shaping of membranes and production of magnet systems. DNH A/S loudspeakers soon became known as “the golden loudspeakers of DNH”.
