Jonsered is an old, traditional industrial community by the Säve River outside Gothenburg, Sweden. Jonsered's factories were established here in 1834. By the 1880s the manufacture of wood-processing machinery had started, leading towards the products Jonsered manufactures today.
In 1954, Jonsered produced the prototype for today's modern chain saw when the world's first lightweight, one-man chain saw was presented. A professional brushcutter was introduced the following year and the innovations have followed one after another ever since.
Today, Jonsered is one of the world’s most respected brands of power equipment, with a range of products for both professionals and occasional users. Performance, dependability and ergonomic design for comfortable, efficient operation are the hallmarks of Jonsered Power Equipment, as they have been for more than five decades.
