European craftmanship

Proudly made in Poland

Granqvists was established in 1984 and since then, manufacturing has always been of great focus and dear to our heart. In the beginning, minor attempts of production were made in Sweden, Finland and Yugoslavia. Later moving the production to the city of Złotów, Poland in 1991 by acquiring and re-naming the existing glove factory Rek-Pol (est. 1920) to Rek-Swed meaning “Swedish gloves”.

Growing demand highlighted the need for a new manufacturing facility, as production was spread across several small locations in the city.
