Chinese made Husqvarna?What?

[avalancher]

I had seen a post earlier on the chainsaw board about some "Chinese made" Husqvarna, and decided to do a quick search. Here is what I found....

The case is yellow instead of orange, but they clearly are calling it a Husqvarna. Please tell me that it isnt so!

I don't see how they get away with calling it a husky. I would think a law suit would be in order.

I have a 350 but it's case is orange, why would they keep the same model number? I hope they aren't looking to get into Wal Mart or Sears.

I think husqvarna is getting like all large companies and is making product in China..... My brother in law drives truck in texas and he said he hauled a load of Husky's that said the origin was from China and I thought he was mistaken but maybe he wasn't. He said I thought they were a swedish saw maybe not anymore.

This is interesting. They manufacture a whole line of chainsaws but only one of them carries the Husqvarna brand name.

Maybe they really are subcontracted to produce 350's for Husqvarna

China transgresses with impunity......

And they get rewarded with an Olympics for their fakery and theft!
CHina has absolutely ZERO respect for patent and copyright law.

The fourth and fifth ones down on the right look like they aare trying to fool Stihl owners.......:monkey:

Husqvarna bought Redmax. Redmax has a manufacturing facility in China.....

The chianese are cheaters anyways. what I like about jonsered even though they are made by the same as husky is that jonsered still cators to the local dealers. You can get a husky at lowes I didnt know that until about 2 months ago I went to a dealer to buy my 455 . Then seen one at lowes with an 18 in bar. Lowes told me they wouldnt swap the bar for a 16 but the dealer did.

I don't think they are supposed to be sold outside China, if they are lisensed by Husky, or made at a Husky owned plant.

Specs are pretty impressive for a China made saw.

Anybody want to wager on if they are EPA approved or not?

 

[Zackman1801]

basically they can get away with it for many reasons. They do it all the time with airsoft guns (my other hobby)
they make guns and slap real gun trademarks on them when its actually illegal to do so. but they either cover them up or dont sell to the united states. With these they are taking husqvarna saws probably repainting them and selling them as their own, they will get away with this because in china no one enforces the copyright laws or even cares about them. businesses are soo corrupt that they can get away with nearly anything if a few dollars goes to the government. how else do you think they can produce things so cheap in the country. so really even if husky didnt want them to make them there isnt really anything they can do about it because who is going to to enforce the laws and take them to court? and teacherman said they have no respect for US copyright laws, what makes you think they would have respect for Swedish or German copyrights.... really its a shame we do business with them. thats half the reason the country is the way it is, they take the jobs then the make copyrighted stuff because they can get away with it, and we buy it! but thats a whole different thing for a different time.

Don't be ridiculous, guys...that's absolutely NOT a Husqvarna saw. It is an illegal infringement on a trademark.

The only legitimate sawmaker I know of making saws in China is...











......









....wait for it.....











.....coming right up.....















.....well that would have to be....



















Stihl.

Here's their letter from the EPA. Draw your own conclusions:

I have a feeling Husqvarna really did contract out the 350 to these guys. Why would 1 out of 19 saws be branded Husqvarna and the other 18 be this no name Aowe!??

Aowie!!! What a name. Maybe that's what you feel after you use it!!
