Väderstad is a family firm, named after the Swedish village where it is based.

The business was founded in 1962 by Rune and Siw Stark, who began manufacturing implements for local farmers in a small engineering workshop on their own farm. At that time their farm had some 30 hectares of arable land.

From this modest start, Väderstad has grown into a company with a staff of 450 people working in a very modern factory.
