Source-derived summary

Møllergruppen is a company within car import, sale, repair, financial leasing, real estate development and other investments. It is the largest importer of vehicles in Norway, with responsibility for the Volkswagen Group vehicles, including Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and the repair of SEAT. In addition the group has import of Volkswagen and Audi in Latvia and Lithuania, and Estonia. The company is privately owned by the Møller family.

History

The group was founded as Strømmen Auto AS in 1936 by Harald A. Møller with sale of Dodge and DeSoto. In 1946 the company changed name to Harald A. Møller AS and became the importer of Volkswagen in 1948, as well as Audi in 1974. In 1983 the subsidiary Møller US Import AS is founded with responsibility for import of Dodge, and eventually Chrysler and Jeep. In 1985 the group gets its present name after merging with Hamas. SEAT is started imported in 1989 and Škoda in 1991 after they have been bought by VAG. However, in 2003 and after Daimler-Benz and Chrysler Corporation were merged to DaimlerChrysler, Møller US Import was sold to Bertel O Steen, who had imported Mercedes-Benz. In the same year the SEAT import is taken over by the factory, though repairs are retained by Møllergruppen. Also in 2003 the group is divided in two, when the Schage family demerge the real estate investments.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Møller Mobility Group” as norwegian company. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Møller, Mobility and Group.

Editorial reviewA strong contextual entry point for chronology, institutions and public events when official records are distinguished from later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1936, 1946, 1948, 1974—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1936. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Møller, Mobility and Group providing the first useful test.
