ATE - Alfred Teves
1951 Der Vakuum-Bremskraftverstärker ATE T50, System Bendix Hydrovac, geht in Serie. Teves hatte sich kurz zuvor die Lizenzen gesichert und damit eine Basis für den bis heute andauernden Erfolg des Geschäftsbereichs Hydraulische Bremssysteme gelegt. Beim Betätigen wird über einen Hauptzylinder Druck erzeugt. Dieser schließt über einen Steuerkolben das Vakuumventil und öffnet das Außenluftventil. Der Differenzdruck wirkt auf den Vakuumkolben und erzeugt den Verstärkungseffekt.
1951 Teves erwirbt die Rechte für den Hydrovac-Vakuum-Booster der amerikanischen Firma Bendix und bringt ihn unter dem Namen ATE T50 auf den Markt: Der Vakuum-Bremskraftverstärker ist die Antwort auf die Tatsache, dass Autos immer schwerer werden und der Tritt aufs Bremspedal immer mehr Kraft verlangt. Der Booster nutzt den Unterdruck auf der Ansaugseite des Motors zur Bremskraftverstärkung und erhöht den Bedienkomfort enorm. Diese Technologie verdrängt rasch das von der Autoindustrie verfolgte Prinzip der selbstverstärkenden Radbremse -
1961 Mit dem T51 führt ATE die Bremskraftverstärker-Technologie ein, die heute weltweit Standard ist: Er wird an der Spritzwand montiert und direkt vom Bremspedal angesteuert.
1972 Teves hat sich endgültig von den Bendix-Lizenzen frei gemacht: Während beim T51 das Steuerventil noch eine Bendix-Lizenz war, ist dieses Ventil im neuen ATE T52 eine Eigenentwicklung. Erstmals eingesetzt wird der T52 1973 im Mercedes-Benz W114, dem legendären Mittelklassemodell »Strich 8«
1967 wurde die Alfred Teves GmbH durch die US-amerikanische Firma ITT übernommen.
1998 wurde das Unternehmen von der Continental AG aufgekauft .
Heute werden im Unternehmensbereich Continental Automotive Systems (CAS) diese Marken geführt:
- Teves für Brems-, Stabilitäts- und Fahrwerkregelsysteme und
- ATE für den Bereich Independent Aftermarket, Fahrzeugersatzteile

Bofors
Bofors, 130 years older than the United States
There are many companies, especially in the machine-building and mining industries, whose histories date back to the misty beginnings of Swedish economic life. Often they began as a small forge or smithy, which grew into a bruk. The bruk, a typically Swedish institution, was originally a type of country estate on which iron-melting, rather than agriculture, was the chief occupation.
From these early manorial establishments, an unbroken process of economic development led to the modern industrial concerns of today.
One of the oldest and largest of these is the Bofors Company, founded in 1646 as a village smithy. Today Bofors is a world renowned weapons-maker. The Bofors 40-mm. automatic gun, for example, was perhaps the most widely employed piece of artillery in World War II.
Volvo now draws upon the vast experience and resources of Bofors for more peaceful ends. Crankshafts, gear blanks, and other Volvo forgings and steel parts which have helped create the Volvo reputation for quality come from Bofors.

Jensen Motors Ltd was a British manufacturer of ports cars and commercial vehicles, based in the Lyng - West Bromwich (in the West Midlands, west of Birmingham).
Volvo P1800: In 1960 Jensen won a contract from Volvo to assemble and finish the bodies for their P1800 coupé. Pressed Steel manufactured the body-shells at their Linwood plant in Scotland and shipped them to Jensen Motors Ltd in West Bromwich to be finished, painted and trimmed, before then being shipped to Sweden where Volvo completed the final build.
Jensen began as a small coachbuilding firm run by brothers Richard and Alan Jensen; they bought out the body works of W.J. Smiths & Sons where they worked after the owner's death and renamed it Jensen Motors in 1934.
The company had come under the control of the Norcros Group in 1959 and following disagreements Alan and Richard Jensen resigned in 1966.
