Part of the Gnosjö spirit 

It is no coincidence that there are so many companies in the Gnosjö region. Business and entrepreneurship here exudes a tangible spirit where nothing is impossible. Drive and development are in focus and collaborations without demands are a matter of course. The spirit here is part of the Gnosjö spirit - where nothing is impossible. Here, knowledge, quality and design go hand in hand and are passed on from generation to generation. Long-term and sustainability are often watchwords in manufacturing. The cast iron pan you cook in, the potato peeler you have in the kitchen, the carpet at work and perhaps the bag you carry on your shoulder every day are produced here. We are proud of our fantastic factories and their products which are often exported worldwide. We want to share this with you. That's why you are welcome to the Factory Round!
