History
The Ankarsrum Assistent Original kitchen machine traces its origins to 1937, when the rights to the machine and its name were acquired from a company in Eskilstuna, Sweden. Originally designed for professional use, it was initially deemed too large for ordinary households. Civil engineer Alvar Lenning was tasked with redesigning the kitchen machine to make it suitable for both regular and rural households. The new Assistent Original kitchen machine, model NG1, was launched in 1940 featuring a 250-watt motor. It received widespread acclaim, particularly for its wooden dough roller. During the war, rationing of both food and materials impacted Assistent Original production. Material shortages post-World War II resulted in a three-year waiting period for the kitchen machine between 1945 and 1949, severely affecting sales.
