Friggeråkers Verkstäder is a manufacturer specializing in sand and salt spreading equipment for road maintenance and safety, sold under the Falköping brand name. The family firm was founded in Falköping, Sweden, in 1937, initially producing transport fittings. A significant milestone was the production of its first sand spreader in 1957, followed by the first salt spreader in 1983.
The company's product line ranges from simple, hand-driven spreaders to advanced, GPS-controlled systems. It produces approximately 500 spreading units annually and operates a factory of around 6,500 square meters with about 40 employees. The business focuses on providing durable and effective surface treatment solutions, with product development geared towards meeting market needs. In addition to manufacturing, the company maintains a service workshop for on-the-spot service. On July 1, 2025, Friggeråkers Verkstäder was acquired by Lagercrantz Group and now operates as a subsidiary of the group.
