ENGLISH The power is in the wire. Wire with tradition In the area around Lesjöfors, in the heart of the mining district, iron production began back in the 16th century, and the first wire was manufactured as early as 1849. The technique has been developed and improved over generations, and today we at Springwire manufacture wire of genuine world class. The long mill tradition here combined with our craftsmanship represents the core of our quality Swedish wire. Pride is an integral part of our history and gives us the impetus to invest in the future.

On the contrary, we are convinced that we can produce products better together rather than individually. For this reason we like to work in close proximity with our customers and develop together. Environment Lesjöfors is a fantastic place blessed with untouched wilderness and dense forests, high peaks and glassy lakes where hunting and fishing have always been an important and natural part of life. We want our children and grandchildren to grow up in the same wonderful environment as we have close to undisturbed nature and rich fishing waters.
