Machining since 1946

In 1946, Folke Falk started the business in an old chicken coop in what is now Gnosjö town center. After the war, there was a need for couplings for oil pipelines, so in his spare time, Folke and his brother Helge turned such products.

In 1955, the business was registered as a limited company and was run by Folke and his sons, Uno and Björn.In 1969, they built a new factory building on Västergatan in Gnosjö, where they operated until 2005 when a larger property was purchased on Marieströmsvägen.

In the early 80s, Uno became the sole owner of Falks Metall, and a couple of decades later, his son Per took over the family business. The development has moved forward. From a few lathes and 5 employees to over 40 lathes and mills with associated robots and about as many wonderful employees.
