Kellgren was born in Sweden. He enlisted in the navy before beginning a career as a firearms designer.[3]
Design careeredit
He designed many firearms earlier for Husqvarna and Swedish Interdynamics AB in Sweden. He moved to the USA in 1979 and his original USA designs were for Intratec and Grendel brand firearms. He founded Kel-Tec in 1991.[4][better source needed] Grendel Inc went out of business in 1994 as a result of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Kel-Tec had been doing much of the machining for Grendel and the closure of Grendel allowed Kel-Tec to expand their focus ultimately finding a very profitable niche in handgun manufacturing.[3]
