Fransgard Maskinfabrik A/S is a 100% Danish owned manufacturer of agricultural and forestry equipment.
The company was founded by Thorkild Fransgaard in 1967, when he purchased Fredbjerg Smede og Maskinværksted, where he had been trained as a blacksmith.
Eventually, the company was transformed to begin manufacturing agricultural equipment. Today the factory employs approximately 50 full-time employees and its production area of over 8000 square meters ( 87 000 sq. ft.) is equipped with the most modern equipment.
The first agricultural implement manufactured at this facility was the popular
side delivery hay rake, where Fransgard A/S innovated the concept by using V-belts and nylon bushings instead of the traditional link-chain design. Later the company designed and produced the bale conveyors, tedder/rakes, combi rakes, forestry winches,
levellers, disc and drum mowers, snow blowers, log grapples, to the full range of products available today.
Through these years, Fransgard´s main objective has been to always produce the highest quality an most innovative equipment.
