• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

husqvarna-history-c5d74198.png

Founded in 1689 in Sweden, Husqvarna has a very extensive product range with everything from professional machines to products for demanding consumers. When the company started we produced what were probably the finest muskets of the day. And it was then that we lay the foundation for the engineering expertise that has since helped us develop some of the world’s best products in areas such as hunting weapons, bicycles, motorcycles, kitchen appliances, sewing machines and outdoor products.
An environmental approach to production and product life cycles

As a manufacturer of outdoor products, we have a great responsibility in environmental issues. Therefore we have developed a holistic approach that affects our entire operation, from production methods, packaging, noise and consumption of materials to the energy consumption, exhaust emissions and finally the recyclability of the products. We always prefer to use environmentally compatible materials in our production and we are continually replacing old materials with new, even more environmentally compatible alternatives, as these are developed.
The Husqvarna logotype

The symbol being the Husqvarna logo refers to our gunsmithing history. To the right you see the oldest form as the hallmark of a passed musket, symbolizing the sight over the barrel. You see also the modern version indicating that Husqvarna is still keeping the future in sight.
 
What makes a Husqvarna? How come people all over the world expect a certain feel and finish when picking up, or getting on, a Husqvarna product? I’d like to think that their significant experience has a lot to do with it – of which they have almost 400 years. Here’s how Husqvarna became Husqvarna.

Husqvarna was founded as “Jönköping Rifle Factory” by decree of the Swedish king, and during the first years the factory produced about 1500
musket pipes annually. The signature product inspired the classic “gun
sight” logo that, although updated, is still used today. When Sweden
began to boost its army in 1689 the company started a separate site for
boring and grinding musket pipes 7 km from the head office in Jönköping –
at Huskvarna falls (formerly spelled Husqvarna). A place that now
marks the spot for the modern Husqvarna factory complex.
