Husqvarna Group makes outdoor power products, watering systems and light construction equipment, and traces itself to a rifle factory set up in 1689 at the waterfall in Huskvarna in southern Sweden.

Electrolux bought the company in 1978 and it became independent again with a Stockholm listing in 2006.
