1980
It all started in the early 1980´s when "Iggesunds Bruk", the big paper mill in Strömsbruk Sweden, was downsizing. To keep the staff employed they started to produce and repair harvester bars in a small scale for the local forest contractors.

1986
Iggesund Skogstjänst was founded. Iggesund Skogstjänst started a more professional production of the "first" solid harvester bar in Sweden. The bars were commonly known as "Iggesund blue bars" and turned out to be very successful.

The decision to rename the company to Iggesund Forest was made in order to adapt to the international market as the requests from the export market increased.

2007
The bar color changed from blue to black after some major improvements were made.
Iggesund Forest started to be more active on the export market.
