Iggesund is Swedish, not German - and are most known for their harvester bars.
They do make chainsaw bars as well though. The chains they offer looks like rebranded Carlton, judged on the looks and the designation system.

I mentioned the chainsaw forum based in Germany because the European members active there might know more about Iggesund than the members here on this US based site.
@Ferguson system is a Iggesund Forest seller/dealer, he might know details regarding their products!
He wrote me!
And what did he say?
I don't think it is a secret...
He said:
They are manufacturing the 1.5 mm/0.58" / chain, but the 1.6 mm /0.63"/chain, made by Carlton.
Interesting....
Odd statement - I suspect there is a misunderstanding somewhere, and it all (the chain) is Carlton.
The chain may of course have been ordered that way from Carlton, if they buy enough of it.
It would be odd if they set up their own chain factory, just to produce one of the gauges themselves....
The 0.63" chains are made by Carlton. Chisel chain.
As I understand it the 0.58" chains are made or put together at the Iggesund factory.
I will check with Iggesund on monday. That way we can be certain.
Please inform us after than!The 0.63" chains are made by Carlton. Chisel chain.

OT question-how do you like the R2 bar? How much flex in it, how does ti wear compared to Oregon and Stihl? The last Oregon bar I got is ugly soft, so I´m in the market for sth better, because of grit infested wod and, of course, black locust
