My great-grandfather, Tobias Knudsen, started the company in the late 1800s. Then called the T. Knudsen Vognfabrikk. The factory began producing hestekarjoler. The factory was located in Kvadraturen in Kristiansand. After some time my grandfather, Trygve Knudsen, factory. He realized that the future lay in motorized carts, and production resulted in a significant number of buses until it was discontinued in 1971. Factory were located in the upper quarter, in Church Street, but moved to the Queens street where it was erected a factory building. In recent years kept the factory to a larger factory building at Eastern Beach Gate 84 at Otras bank. The last period in the plant’s history was marked by deliveries to the Swedish bus companies because of the transition to “H Day” (from left-to right-hand traffic as happened in 1967). Buses to Sweden was then fitted with doors on the right side in addition to the temporary door on the left. It is said that Kristiansand Karosserifabrikk was the first in Norway to produce articulated buses
