Borggårds Bruk

What Borggårds Bruk does

Borggårds Bruk is a Swedish industrial contract manufacturer that develops and produces machined industrial components from metal wire and metal strips. Tracing its origin to 1550 when Borggård became collective property under the Rosenstråle dynasty via a deed of gift from King Gustav Vasa, the company has specialized in wire products since 1882 and is one of Sweden's longest continuously operating industrial enterprises. It serves global enterprise customers with high requirements on durability, quality, and delivery reliability, including a Tier 1 supplier relationship with Volvo GTO that has run continuously since the 1940s. Other named customers span office furniture (Flokk, Kinnarps), industrial appliances (Electrolux), marine industrial equipment (SPX Flow), and sports equipment (Rottefella).

The core offering combines engineering services with industrial wire bending manufacturing. Production runs on Bihler automated bending machines for tight tolerances, NC-controlled free-bending machines with integrated press, thread rolling, profile turning, and chamfering units, five main robot cells using Yaskawa and ABB robots for 24/7 operation, eccentric and automatic presses up to 200 tons, robot welding (induction and filler metal), thread rolling, and centrifugal/vibration tumbling for finishing. The company manufactures its own tools and fixtures in-house, which compresses lead times and supports rapid scale-up. In January 2025, Borggårds Bruk acquired Fridells Mekaniska AB in Mjölby, adding CNC turning and CNC milling capabilities and a second production site. The company is certified to ISO 9001, IATF 16949 (automotive quality), and ISO 14001 (environmental management).

Borggårds Bruk operates a direct B2B sales model engaging enterprise customers early in their product development cycles, with quote-based pricing on multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated through manufacturing fees tied to complexity, volume, and required processes, augmented by value-added services such as assembly, kit packaging, partial and complete assembly, and surface treatment. Ownership transitioned in January 2020 to Jan-Peder Daréus and Göran Holmgren, both with international industrial backgrounds, who have stated an objective to grow European sales in segments demanding complex wire and strip products.
