Today, Husqvarna AB maintains production facilities across Europe, North America and Asia, with a distribution network spanning over 100 countries. The company balances its heritage in Sweden with a broad geographic footprint to serve homeowners, landscapers and forestry professionals worldwide.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Jonas Samuelson, who took the helm in 2013, Husqvarna has focused on sustainable innovation and digitalization. Recent efforts include the expansion of robotic mower technology and the integration of smart, connected solutions that enhance user experience and productivity. The company emphasizes environmental responsibility through initiatives aimed at reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency and incorporating recyclable materials in its product designs.
Husqvarna’s professional customer base extends from landscape companies and forestry businesses to contractors in the construction industry, all of whom benefit from the company’s reputation for durability and performance. On the consumer side, the company targets gardening enthusiasts and homeowners seeking reliable, easy-to-use equipment. By leveraging its long history and commitment to research and development, Husqvarna continues to shape the future of outdoor power and precision-engineered machinery.
