Husqvarna
chain saws are known the world over as top
of the line chain saws. People, who use chainsaws
for their livelihood, use Husqvarna. Few
of these people know what an interesting history
brings us to the Husqvarna company of today.
There is much more to this 300-year-old company
than Husqvarna
chainsaws. The
company was formed in the 1600s. Sweden was at
war. The company was established to build weapons,
particularly muskets. It quickly became recognized
as a precision engineering entity and continued
production of military muskets and rifles until
the 20th century. By the late 1800s, the company
realized it could no longer depend upon government
orders. It began to manufacture sporting and target
rifles as a means of diversifing.
Husqvarna
Company Has 300 Year History
The
diversification of the firm continued throughout
the 19th and 20th centuries and in a number
of directions. This diversification included
sewing machines and cast iron kitchen utensils
in 1872. The firm began manufacturing bicycles
in 1896, followed by motorcycles in 1903. Chainsaws
were added to the product mix in the mid-1950s
and microwave ovens came along at the end
of that decade.
As times and markets have changed, some products
lines from this diverse company have been sold
or discontinued. On the 300th anniversary of
the company in 1989, the firm produced its last
firearms, special anniversary edition rifles.
Other product lines have come and gone. One that
remains strong and a hallmark of the engineering
and innovative prowess of this company is its
line of chainsaws.
If you are looking for a top of the line chainsaw

not have to look any further than Husqvarna.
