In 1913, thirteen separate
Swedish businesses, all involved in graphics
and related operations, joined together
to form SLT. Through numerous acquisitions,
the company grew and its core activities
soon included everything from book binding
and paper manufacturing, to the printing
of stationery, playing cards, maps, forms
and printing securities; including share
certificates and bonds.
By the early 1960s, SLT had
an overwhelming number of competing operations
and products, and in 1964, a period of dramatic
structural change began. Divisions
with similar activities merged and any incompatible
operations disposed of.

The purchase of
an American stamp printing machine in 1920
resulted in stamps being printed by the
Post Office rather than by private printers
for the first time. The stamps were recess
printed in continuos reels.
The PFA became a separate
unit within the Swedish Post Office in 1976
and moved to the north of Stockholm in Kista
that same year.
In 1983, PFA installed a
specially manufactured press from Goebel
of Germany. The 17-metre press can handle
both recess print (up to six colours) and
offset print (up to four colours), either
singly or in combination. The first issued
stamp from this press was the Fresh Water
Snail issue of 1983.
