JONSERED

In a country like Sweden, where 75 percent of the land surface is covered by forest, it is quite natural that the forest industry is one of the most important commercial industries. The quest for technological advancement is another typical character of swedish heritage. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the world's first easy one-man chainsaw was invented in Sweden already in 1954, more precisely in Jonsered, a small industrial village located in the forest landscape a few miles northeast of Gothenburg.
