Developed for the forest. Made in Str\u00f6msbruk.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 1986, Iggesund Forest has developed and produced harvester bars and chains for professional mechanised harvesting. With roots in the Swedish steel tradition and production in Str\u00f6msbruk, H\u00e4lsingland, we combine experience, material knowledge and close dialogue with users in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We build products that last \u2013 in real working conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Built for professional harvesting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stable operation. Long service life. Better total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our harvester bars and chains are developed for demanding CTL operations and heavy loads. Every detail of the design \u2013 from choice of materials to geometry \u2013 is engineered to deliver stable chain running, high wear resistance and consistent performance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is more cubic metres harvested per bar and a lower cost per cubic metre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t develop for test benches \u2013 we develop for the forest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Development in close dialogue with the user<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Experience from the cab to the factory floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our product development takes place in close cooperation with professional harvester operators and dealers. They set the requirements for performance, wear resistance and precision \u2013 and their experience shapes our solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through continuous improvement and technical development, we make sure our bars and chains meet future demands for efficiency and reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Production with full control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From raw material to finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All development and production takes place in Sweden. This gives us full control over materials, the hardening process and quality checks. Having design and manufacturing close together lets us quickly adapt and further develop our products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a prerequisite for the quality we stand for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
