Håndsmedede økser

Siden 1902

HVORFOR GRÄNSFORS BRUK?

Alt, hvad der produceres, kræver ressourcer, og alle disse ressourcer er mere eller mindre en belastning for vores miljø og for mennesker. Hvordan vi bruger ressourcer, og hvad vi gør med dem, er et spørgsmål om ansvar.

Vi ser det som en kombination af miljømæssigt ansvar, funktionelt ansvar og menneskeligt ansvar.

Som virksomhed har vi et ubetinget ansvar for helheden, og det er vores pligt konstant at arbejde med disse spørgsmål for at opnå en mere bæredygtig udvikling i verden.

Gränsfors Bruk har fremstillet håndsmedede økser i mere end 100 år. Hver økse er specielt designet til at opfylde en bestemt funktion, hvor høj kvalitet og anvendelse altid har været i fokus.

Der er også lagt stor vægt på at producere økser ud fra et miljømæssigt perspektiv, uden unødigt forbrug af naturressourcer.

Der er også lagt mange kræfter i at udvikle et produkt, der ærer de mennesker, der har skabt det.

På den baggrund har Gränsfors Bruk opstillet tre kriterier, som skal opfyldes, når vi fremstiller vores økser.

  • Vi vil producere økser med den bedst mulige funktion baseret på øksens anvendelse.
  • Vi vil producere økser, der påvirker vores miljø så lidt som muligt.
  • Vi vil lave økser med respekt for de mennesker, der laver dem.

At lave et godt produkt ud fra ovenstående perspektiv er vores måde at vise ansvarlighed på over for dig, der skal købe og bruge produktet, over for vores miljø og over for vores medarbejdere.

Vi anerkender dog, at der stadig er mere at gøre, og vi har derfor forsøgt at tage vores virksomhedsansvar et skridt videre gennem Agenda 2030.

Fra stål til økse

PRODUKTER

Økser fra Gränsfors Bruks er opdelt i fire forskellige kategorier baseret på øksens anvendelsesområde.

De fire kategorier er: Skovøkser, flækøkser, tømmer- og snedkerværktøj samt tveæggede økser.

Udover det har vi også et mindre antal historiske økser, andensorteringsøkser og et udvalg af andre økserelaterede produkter.

KURSER

I mere end ti år har Gränsfors Bruk arrangeret forskellige kurser i smedearbejde. Kurserne er tilgængelige i forskellige sværhedsgrader afhængigt af tidligere erfaring og varierer i antal dage.
