Our history
Entrepreneurship have characterized the Hammar family in Bjursås since the beginning of the 20th century.
Petter Hammar started his business with a smithy. In the late 1930s, his son Algot took over the business.
Algot Hammar changed the company name in 1941 to Hammar’s sheet metal warehouse and forging workshop. Registration plates are made for cars and wheelbarrows for children.
In the mid-1950s, the first contact was made with the electricity industry, which resulted in the manufacture of, among other things, pole roofs and warning rings for power line poles.
In 1965, the company name was changed to the current AB Hammarprodukter with a Hammare as logo. Manufacturing is almost entirely focused on the electricity industry.
Hammarprodukter currently has 25 employees in Bjursås, as well as 5 employees in Estonia. We are the market leader in several countries and have an extensive network of retailers in the rest of the world.
