The company was founded in 1905 by Nils Sundin and built a variety of wooden boats for work and pleasure well into the 1950s with a workforce of only five employees. Karl Sundin took over in 1960, adding new workshops and a new slipway which enabled the work force to expand to 15. In 1975, management of Dockstavarvet passed to a third generation, with the brothers Karl-Anders, Torsten and Per Sundin taking over the operation.
