HUSQVARNA’S HISTORY

RIFLE FACTORYHusqvarna is founded as a weapons foundry for the Swedish armed forces. The last shotgun made at this facility is produced in 1989.

SEWING MACHINESThe new machinery for producing rifles turns out to be well suited for manufacturing sewing machines, which are produced until operations are divested in 1997.
