Any Chance GB, Husqvarna and Wetterlings are affiliates? Factory SXS Videos.

This fella say they were bought out by another company.

GD bought Wetterlings a year or two ago. And Wetterlins was contracted by Husky to make them some tools

In 2008 Wettelings was purchased by Gabriel Brandy, the owner of Granfors Bruks. They still operate as two separate factories (from what I hear) but they are owned by the same person.

Hasqvarna contracts with Wetterlings, and apparently all Swedish axe manufacturers for their axe heads. That is why you see variations between different smaples. Currently a number of axes have been released under the Husqvarna name that were manufactured by Hults Bruk/Hultafors.

For some more info on the different Swedish axe manufacturers, you can see here: http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2010/12/brief-history-of-swedish-axe.html
