What do the initials FB stand for?
In the 1870s, a company was formed in Eskilstuna, a town in Sweden about 80km north west of Stockholm. The company made various products, one of which was chain. The company was called: Eskilstuna Fabriks Bolaget. In their wisdom they shortened it to FB.
FB also stands for Quality, Adaptability and Reliability.
