About GAV-Glimakra
GAV Glimåkra AB
(formerly AB Gunnar Anderssons Vävskedsfabrik) started in 1926 with reeds as the initial product. For several hundred years, reed making has been concentrated in an area northwest of Mora, in central Sweden. Gunnar Anderssons was a part of this long tradition.
Over the years, the production has expanded to include high quality looms and weaving equipment known and used worldwide.
The owners
In December 2006 GAV was purchased by Bengt Jonasson and PeO Dungel.
Bengt is an engineer specialized in industrial wood working and has for many years worked as consultant for Ikea
suppliers all over the world.
PeO is a lawyer and has worked internationally for almost twenty years. PeO worked for Ikea world-wide for eight
years based in London. They are committed to maintaining the quality and tradition of the company.
The name
To avoid name confusion and to give tribute to the oldest brand name, Gunnar Anderssons Vävskedsfabrik -GAV-, the name of the company has now been changed to GAV Glimåkra. It is a combination of the best of both. Visit the web site (in English)
