During his youth, Axel joined a shipping company. Later he became an owner and captain in the inland (lake) shipping business. In 1865, Axel used a loan to purchase a wooden trading ketch, Mathilda. This would lead to the founding of the Swedish shipping company Broström Lines.[1]
His son, Dan Broström, became the Swedish Naval Minister from 1914–1917. His grandson, Tor Erland Broström, was board chairman of Swedish American Line.
