Gamlestadens fabriker is a Swedish textile company based in Gothenburg, dissolved in 1991.1 It is part of Nobel Industrier.1

Gamlestadens Fabrikers AB var ett större textilföretag i Gamlestaden i Göteborg, vars tidigare fabriksområde behållit det ursprungliga namnet. Under åren 1962–1989 hette företaget Investment AB Asken, och därefter fram till konkursen 1991 Finans AB Gamlestaden. Gamlestadens fabriker har en viktig plats i Sveriges industrihistoria, eftersom Svenska Kullagerfabriken, SKF (1907) och därmed indirekt Volvo (1926) har sitt ursprung därifrån.2 From the Swedish Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0
