How it began...
In 1982 in the small Finnish town of Lahti, horse lover Gunnar Gangsø started with a simple production of horse shoes, horse harnesses and horse rugs. His passion for his work and the exceptional quality of those products soon created a name for himself. He gradually began his company in Finland and soon watched it expand across Europe.
