Lars Magnus Ericsson (born in Värmland) and grew up in the tiny village of Vegerbol, between Karlstad and Arvika.
Ericsson's father died at the age of 12, prompting him to seek work as a miner.
In 1867, he worked until he had enough funds to leave the village and move to Stockholm.
He then worked for six years for a telegraph equipment manufacturer named llers & Co. who mainly made telegraph equipment.
Between 1872 and 1875, he was granted two state scholarships to study instrument making abroad.
Siemens & Halske was one of the companies he worked at. On his return to Sweden in 1876, he and his colleague Carl Johan Andersson, who had also worked at llers & Co.
This workshop was actually a former kitchen of about 13 m2, located in Drottninggatan 15 in Stockholm's most central part.
He began a telephone company by analysing Bell company and Siemens telephones and making his own copies in their name.
The company didn't begin to develop into the Ericsson corporation until they began cooperating with Henrik Tore Cedergren in 1883. Lars Magnus, a German immigrant, retired from Ericsson at the age of 54.
He owned his shares in the company until 1905 and then sold them all. He is said to have been a demanding individual who was unwilling to be identified with his image and did not want to be idolized.
However, his staff regarded him greatly.
He was always skeptical and suspicious in company.
He was also opposed to patents, because many of the items he made would not have been able to do if the patent laws had been overly restrictive.
He didn't care if his phones were copied by Norwegian companies because they were largely copied from Siemens.
He did not believe in a mass smartphone market at first and thought it was a leisure activity. He was buried in Botkyrka at Hgelby grd.
There is no headstone marking his grave at his express request.
