The Story of Per Igland
Per Igland founded IGLAND in 1947. He grew up in Grimstad and had a genuine interest and talent for technical products.
At the age of 26, he started his first company, an aluminum foundry that produced complete wheels and wheelsets. In the 1950s, production shifted from wheels to pressing steel rims. While working on this, he also developed potato harvesters.
In 1952, Per introduced a universal winch designed for farm use, and in the years that followed, he developed slip winches, slip pans, loading booms, and timber trucks.
The 1960s marked the launch of the popular 3000 series, which marked the beginning of today's well-known winches. In the years to follow, he continuously developed more advanced and modern winches.
IGLAND’s two-drum forest winches are the best-selling in Europe of all time, and as a curiosity, we can mention that both the Danish and British royal families are on the customer list.
In 1981, Per Igland was awarded the King's Medal of Merit for his contribution to the mechanization of forestry.
