 EB also had close connections with Televerket, whom EB was the largest producer of telecommunication equipment for.This was especially true in the late 1960s to abolish waiting lists for telephone lines.The Swedish ASEA eventually bought 67% of EB, and in 1988 the company became part of the new Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) group, through the brand EB was used until 1993, when ABB bought the rest of EB.
