History

File:SLM M026750 - Tillverkningen av 1953 års Vanguard vid ANAs sammansättningsfabrik i Nyköping.jpg

Production of the Standard Vanguard at ANA's assembly plant in 1953

The company was responsible for assembling trucks for brands such as Chrysler, DeSoto, Plymouth, and Fargo. Later on, their portfolio included assembly for Škoda, Standard and from the mid-1950s, Simca. Beginning in 1946, ANA also engaged in the sale of Piper aircraft. Initially, the firm operated as a subsidiary under Nordiska Kompaniet.

Throughout the 1960s, ANA acted as a distributor for Massey Ferguson tractors and developed a customized version of the Ferguson hitch known as the Swedish Hitch.

In 1960, ownership transferred to Saab, after which the company was rebranded as Saab-ANA and shifted its focus to functioning primarily as a SAAB dealership. By 2013, ANA expanded its offerings to include BMW and Mini vehicles. In subsequent years, they produced police variants of BMW automobiles and motorcycles. Production activities experienced a revival when NEVS acquired the company's bankruptcy estate; however, in 2016, NEVS discontinued the Saab brand name. On July 2, 2017, Hedin Bil purchased ANA Motorcentrum AB, with vehicle sales and servicing continuing under Trollhättan AB and Hedin Bil in Lysekil.
