Based in Atvidaberg, the company produced mechanical calculators, typewriters and office furniture between 1922 and 1998. By the 1970s, the company had grown from a local family business into one of the world's leading manufacturers. The company-sponsored football team AFF was playing in the first division. But a few years later the Facit organization had disappeared--worn down by global capitalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Facit Model: Globalism, Localism, Identity\u003c\/i\u003e looks at this peculiar example of corporate modernism through the printed matter produced in Facit's in-house print shops, culled from FACIT's archives.
