Granqvists®
Gloves AB

Founded in 1984 in Karlstad, Sweden, Granqvists Gloves AB began with the idea of creating the world’s best ski glove under the brand name Lillsport®. Since then, the company has grown into an international manufacturer of high-performance gloves for sports, firefighting, and military and police use. Today, we employ approx. 300 people annually across Sweden, Poland, and Ethiopia.
