Our Companies

Woolpower manufactures merino wool based thermal undergarments and mid layers with the goal of delivering absolute thermal comfort in all types of weather. The company also manufactures complementing performance socks and accessories. The result is head-to-toe thermal performance wear for those needing quality, dependable thermals that will keep you warm, no matter the conditions.

Manufactured from yarn to finished garment in Ostersund, Sweden, Woolpower was first established in 1969. Each garment is knit in-house and sewn by a single seamstress. Once the article of clothing is complete and thoroughly inspected that seamstress’ name is sewn to the garment on its own tag; a personalized quality stamp.

Woolpower clothing is timeless, functional and of the highest quality. When you wear Woolpower, you can be confident that each garment has been made with a full commitment toward environmental responsibility and with respect for those who work at the factory.

Since 1902 Gränsfors Bruk Sweden has built a reputation around hand-forged axes. Continuing in the centuries-old Scandinavian axe making tradition, the Gränsfors Bruk forge produces many different functional axe designs to accommodate a multitude of user preferences and applications. Ovako Steelworks provides the steel used for the axe heads. It is derived from recycled scrap, that is processed into high-quality steel made specifically for Gränsfors Bruk. Ovako and Gränsfors Bruk share a strong mutual commitment to recycling and minimizing the impact of their manufacturing processes on the environment.

Each Gränsfors Bruk axe is a reflection of the skilled blacksmith who fashions it. As each smith completes an axe head he stamps his initials in the steel. This is a mark of his commitment to the highest standard of craftsmanship. Each Gränsfors Bruk axe carries a 20 year warranty against manufacturing defects to the axe head.

The forge, located in the Swedish village of Gränsfors, is in northern Hälsingland between Hudiksvall and Sundsvall. The rhythmic pounding of the forge can be heard as you approach the heart of the village.
