Encyclopedic overview

The Husqvarna Group ( Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhʉ̂ːsˌkvɑːɳa ˈɡruːp]) is a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor power products including robotic lawn mowers, chainsaws, trimmers, brushcutters, cultivators, and garden tractors. Founded as a firearms manufacturer in 1689, it is one of the oldest continuously running companies in the world. Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, the group also produces cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction and stone industries. In 2007, it acquired Gardena GmbH, a German manufacturer of gardening tools and consumer watering products.

Their motorcycle division was spun off in 1987, and is now owned by Bajaj Group.
