Electrolux factory: a page in Australia's manufacturing history that is going but never forgotten. 1  With the Electrolux factory in Orange closing in April, a photographic exhibition titled Going but never forgotten has been put together featuring images of the plant and its people in the 1950s and 60s. The factory was built in 1942 and operated until 1945 making small arms during World War II.
While Electrolux had bought several companies before the 1960s, that decade saw the beginnings of a new wave of M&A activity. The company bought ElektroHelios, Norwegian Elektra, Danish Atlas, Finnish Slev, and Flymo, et al., in the nine years from 1960 to 1969.
