Parca loaders were incorporated into the product program in 1969 when Bolinder-Munktell aquired Parca from ASJ. The Parca loader production was gradually transferred to the Arvika factory within the following year. The Arvika factory was expanded with more than 3000 m2 in order to move the production of Parca loaders.
Here the three previous models 654, 854 and 1254 were continuously produced, but also the newly developed prototype Parca 16 which later became BM-Volvo LM 1640.
