Gösta Boman started the agency Boman Trading in 1953, after he had worked for a few years at International Textil, Gothenburg.

His original agency was German dress fabrics in celluloid from Süddeutsche Baomwolle Ind. (Esbi). Gösta developed and sold alone for many years, but in 1960 he hired a colleague, Ryno Wallin, as his partner, Ryno was active in the company for about 10 years.

Gösta was a profile in Marstrand in the 70s with his dog Dino (Italian Spinone) who always sat at the front of the flat mop or in the bow of Gösta's open "marstandssnipa".
