Husqvarna Viking

Husqvarna was founded in 1689 as a royal arms factory in Huskvarna, Sweden. Almost two centuries later in 1872, facing declining demand for firearms, the artisans of the factory were inspired to make a more peaceful product—sewing machines. Today, Husqvarna Viking is a worldwide organization that still designs high-quality sewing machines in Sweden to supply passionate sewers all across the globe. Today, in common with other sewing machine brands, most Husqvarna Viking sewing machines are manufactured in China.
