Bora in Sweden in 1882, the son of a humble match maker, Kreuger spent his early life wandering about the world as & vagabond engineer. He had his first job in New York, where he was an engineer on the famous old Flatiron building. In 1907 Kreuger returned to his native Sweden and introduced American building methods.
