Hassela Skogsprodukter AB (HSP)

In 1994, one of Sweden`s many machine operators grew tired of the poor offering and mediocre quality of grapples and decided to start developing and manufacturing his own brand. He had an idea of what was required from a grapple for it to work efficiently and last a long time. Today, HSP Gripen is one of the leading companies within the grapple manufacturing sector. In September 2010, the company was acquired by Johan Hedin and Tomas Jonsson, both with extensive experience in the machinery and forestry industry. Tomas Jonsson subsequently became the sole owner in April 2017. HSP Gripen has all its production based in Hudiksvall in Northern Hälsingland. Approximately 65 of the company’s total production goes to the overseas market.
