Our skill and experience are wired together by history

Hörle Wire have always been quick to adopt new technology. You could say that it is bred in the bone. As early as 1917, Johan E Pettersson realised that electricity would revolutionise wire manufacturing. The same year, he started one of the first drawing mills based on electric power: Hörle Tråd & Formstiftfabrik. The mill provided local farmers with everything from hooks to barbed wire.

During the twenties, competition became fiercer, but thanks to a strategic partnership with a member of the board , as well as Hörle Tråd’s biggest customer, Edwin H Thomée, Hörle Tråd continued to expand.

As the industry developed, so did demands on quality and versatility. Consequently, when the Thomée group a few years later acquired Hörle Tråd, the decision was made that Hörle should expand by developing their collaboration with the industry.

In hindsight, it turned out to be a wise decision. We have continued to focus on close and rewarding customer relations, combined with quality and precision. It is a strategy that is appreciated by our customers and it has made us the most modern drawing mill in northern Europe as well as market leaders in Sweden, with a considerably export to the Nordic region.
