About Iggesund Forest
Iggesund Forest AB is one of the world´s largest manufacturers of harvester bars. We have designed and produced harvester bars in our factory in Sweden since 1986.
It all started in the early 1980´s when “Iggesunds Bruk”, the big paper mill in Strömsbruk Sweden, was downsizing. To keep the staff employed they started to produce and repair harvester bars in a small scale for the local forest contractors.
As the harvester bars were refurbished, the staff gained a better understanding about how the bars are worn down and got ideas on how to design and produce a harvester bar that was better than those that were on the market. For many years the business also included sharpening harvester chains, but over time the emphasis became to increase harvester bar volumes.
In 1986 Iggesund Skogstjänst was founded. Iggesund Skogstjänst started a more professional production of the “first” solid harvester bar in Sweden. The bars were commonly known as “Iggesund blue bars” and turned out to be very successful.
The decision to rename the company to Iggesund Forest was made in order to adapt to the international market as the requests from the export market increased.
Our staff has over the years built up a very extensive knowledge and some of our employees have worked with us for over 20 years, which guarantees expertise and experience. You will meet our skilled sales staff on their travels and at fairs. Our sellers specialise in bars and chains and listen carefully to any comments you may have so that we get a good basis for further improvement of our products. Your opinion matters to us and we constantly improve our products to ensure that we continue to be the best in our field.
Iggesund Forest is renowned for focusing on the harvester operator to develop the best possible products and solutions, even in small batches, to meet the customer’s needs. With all production within the company this enables greater flexibility and increased communication.
In 2011 Iggesund Forest was purchased by P Wikström J:r AB, and are now a part of the Olofsfors group based in Nordmaling, Sweden. Olofsfors AB is the global market leader in tracks for rubber tired forestry equipment.
