More than 300 y ears of innovation
Husqv arna AB is a Swedish company based on a tradition
that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Charles XI
ordered the construction of a factory for production of
muskets. At that time, the foundation was already laid for the
engineering skills behind the development of some of the
world's leading products in areas such as hunting weapons,
bicycles, motorcycles, domestic appliances, sewing
machines and outdoor products.
Husqvarna is the global leader in outdoor power products for
forestry, park maintenance and lawn and garden care, as well
as cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction
and stone industries.
