Annual midsummer barbecue at Fors MW

This weekend the Nordic and Baltic countries are honoring the longest day of the year. Celebrating this day has also been a long tradition in Fors MW where we each year gather everybody together and have a barbecue. So did we this year, but this time we had to sit inside because of the strong wind and rainy weather.

Thank you everybody who participated in organizing this day! We wish everybody a nice and also safe weekend!

About Fors MW

AS FORS MW is the story of one of Sweden’s real heroes - the entrepreneur. As so often with entrepreneurs it’s not the goal in itself that is interesting, it is the journey to reach it.

Leif Fors, company founder and former CEO was an entrepreneur by birth. Companies being established have always been handled with the same hard work and energetic fire.

However the lack of fare entrepreneurship in our country of origin has caused problems from time to time. A true entrepreneur doesn’t ask for charity – a true entrepreneur asks for fairness and if not receiving it, you never know, he might turn somewhere else.

The story about Fors MW started with a ferry trip, destination Tallinn, at the end of the 80's. The journey was conducted out of curiosity and public interest but what would reveal itself not further away than 400 km from Swedish border would shake the entrepreneur by his roots and he choose to stay and has not really left since then.

As entrepreneur he saw an opportunity to create something and by doing so creating a future for himself as well as for others.

Fors MW manufactures forest, agricultural and contractor machinery. Products we then market and sell world wide. The concern is the leading producer in its field and one of the most profitable companies within the mechanical industry in Europe.

Fors MW is based with part of production and most of the assembly in Estonia. The company was established in 1992 and is one of the oldest companies established by foreigners in Estonia.
