Since 1880, Wetterlings Axes has been a company that
prioritizes first class quality. In particular, Wetterling is more than a
Swedish business that makes axes for camping or home – Wetterling makes pieces
of Swedish legacy. The company’s maxim is “You can not truly own an ancient axe
forge – it belongs to our joint industrial history – but one can assume an
obligation. A responsibility to sustain and pass the information previous
generations have created and that hopefully will outlive its keeper, on to
what's to come.” Today, individuals use axes from Wetterling as important
equipment for camping or working with their home chimneys.
Industrious
Wetterling keeps inherited information alive while
integrating modern ideas. Even in 1882, Sven Axel Wetterling’s brother, a
designer named Otto Wetterling, came back from his industrial axe manufacturing
studies in the US with new methods. Sven quickly made Otto the foreman
responsible for Wetterling’s company development and production. Soon the
company moved to a town nearer to railways and iron materials and raw steel. In
1915, to modernize the company’s hardware, an Arboga forging press hammer
joined Wetterling’s. The Arboga is still utilized today.
