Husqvarna AB
Husqvarna AB (publ) is a Swedish public limited company registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) under registration number 556000-5331. The company was registered in 1897, and its current status on the register is active.
Husqvarna AB’s registered business purpose, as filed with Bolagsverket, covers industrial and commercial activity in products for timber-cutting, forest clearing and garden maintenance, products for processing hard materials, and other motor-driven products, together with compatible business activities. In practice, the company is the publicly listed parent of the Husqvarna Group, which designs, manufactures and sells outdoor power products such as chainsaws, robotic and ride-on lawn mowers, and battery-powered garden equipment for consumer, forestry, park and garden markets. The Group also supplies construction products, including diamond tools and cutting equipment, and, through its Gardena brand, watering and garden-care products.
The Husqvarna business traces its origins to 1689, when a state-backed rifle factory was established on the waterfalls at Huskvarna in southern Sweden; the business diversified over the following two centuries into products including sewing machines, motorcycles and bicycles before the current legal entity, Husqvarna AB, was formally registered in 1897. The company was owned by AB Electrolux from 1978 until it was distributed to Electrolux shareholders and separately listed in June 2006.
Husqvarna AB (publ) is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under two share classes, HUSQ A (ISIN SE0001662222) and HUSQ B (ISIN SE0001662230); the shares also trade over the counter in the United States as American Depositary Receipts under the symbol HSQVY.
As the listed parent of the Husqvarna Group, the company reports the Group’s consolidated results. For the 2025 financial year, the Group reported consolidated net sales of SEK 46.6 billion and consolidated operating income of SEK 2.9 billion, with approximately 11,900 employees; these are Group-level, consolidated figures rather than unconsolidated figures for Husqvarna AB alone.
On 11 August 2025, Glen Instone was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Husqvarna Group, succeeding Pavel Hajman. At the Annual General Meeting held on 16 April 2026, shareholders approved a dividend of SEK 1.25 per share, payable in two installments, and authorized the Board to issue up to 57.6 million new Class B shares to fund future acquisitions.
