This disclosure, a procedural step under EU trade defence law, is confidential and will not be commented on by the company. Interested parties, including Husqvarna Group, now have the opportunity to submit comments to the Commission within the deadline it has set. The Commission will consider these comments before reaching its conclusions. The statutory deadline for a decision on definitive measures is 19 January 2027.
Husqvarna Group remains confident in the process and the evidence it has presented. Founded in the Swedish town of Huskvarna in 1689, the company has been a pioneer in its industry for over three centuries. Today, Husqvarna Group is a global leader in innovative solutions for managing forests, parks, and gardens, as well as equipment and diamond tools for the construction industry.
