Is this true?

When did Husqvarna start making McCulloch chainsaws?

 

Just looked in a manual for one & the makers contact details are Husqvarna in Italy.

i think its all part of the electrolux company:confused1:

[tree_beard]

husqvarna (outdoor equipment, not the sewing machines etc) has been seperate from electrolux for a number of years.

 

the husky corp own mcculloch as of last year, they also baught zenoah (redmax) at the same time and some other bits and bobs.

 

they have owned partner, jonsered and poulan for some time.

 

 

all hail the big orange, and all who sail in her..... or summit

Treebeard is nearly right! Husqvarna were spun off by Electrolux in April 2006, and now float on the Swedish stock market. Amongst the brands we own are Husqvarna, Flymo, Partner, McCulloch, Zenoah, Peerless, Gardena, Jonsered - and thats before we even start on the construction products! Net sales in 08 were approx SEK 32000million (Swedish Krona) which at todays exchange rate is £2500million. Its all on the Husqvarna - Global Leader in Outdoor Power Equipment website if you're interested.

Working on it. Plenty of good ground saws however - especially the XP range if you don't know them.

So Mac and Husky are made by the same firm!!

 

Explains a lot!!

If I can point out at least 10 things to change on a Husky top handled saw within around 30 seconds of holding one, then how come "THE GLOBAL LEADERS IN OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT" cant.
