Husqvarna is quite an interesting company. I knew them for their weapons and motorcycles, while my girlfriend knew them for kitchen appliances, sewing machines and lawncare equipment (she had a landscaping business when she lived in Panama).

It's a 300+ year old company, started as a weapons manufacturer and grew up to be its own town. So the town (Huskvarna) came after the factory (Husqvarna), literally meaning something like "warm house" (forge)
