VSM Group

Founded in 1872, the company is best known for "smart" (computerized) sewing machines and sergers under the brands Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff.

The VSM brand produces several lines of sewing machines, the top being the Designer series and the lowest being the mechanical (non-computerized) Huskystars.

In February 2006 VSM Group was bought by Kohlberg & Co., who already owned the brand Singer.

In December 2005, Industri Kapital sold VSM Group to Kohlberg Management IV, already owner of the Singer1 brand.
