I wanted to post a response from Husqvarna reference my question 'is the Husqvarna 137 built by Husqvarna or Poulan. Trailing message is from Husqvarna: -Original Message- From: Kristi Spencer mailto:kristi.spencer@electrolux.com Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 9:40 AM To: Jim Calhoun Subject: Re: Husqvarna 137 Mr. Calhoun, I wanted to pass along the following information form our hand-held product manager: Husqvarna and Poulan/WeedEater are both owned by Electrolux however the 137 is not a 'Poulan' saw. The 137/142 are Husqvarna's entry level saw and are assembled at the Electrolux plant in Dequeen, Arkansas. These 2 units are design controlled out of Sweden and built to Swedish specs.
These 2 models are manufactured and branded exclusively as Husqvarna. They are not rebadged and offered as Poulan or Poulan Pro products (Or any other brand). The 137/142 saws have several features that are unique to Husqvarna - Specifically: A 3 piece forged crankshaft (vs.
A 5 piece crankshaft with stamped counterweights) A chrome plated cylinder (vs. A bare bore cylinder) Our '2-Mass' Principle which moves the fuel tank to the handle assembly vs. On the chain saw chassis in order to reduce vibrations Air Injection.
About the only components common from this saw to other Poulan Products would be the hardware, chain and maybe a few other miscellaneous components - I would estimate less that 5% of this saw is common to Poulan saws. We feel confident that these units are the best consumer saws available and have backed them with a warranty that reflects this - 15 day Crown Commitment, 2 year Consumer Warranty, and a Lifetime warranty on Ignition module. Sincerely, Kristi Spencer Communications Manager Husqvarna. Message I sent to Husqvarna In order to clearify the issue, the trailing message is the one I sent to Husqvarna: I live in Louisiana and we are still cleaning up after Hurricane Rita, things are much better though. I sent my family north before the Hurricane and stayed with my ailing father who could not be moved.
Two day's after the storm passed my family was returning and called me and asked me what I needed. I said a Generator, Gas and a chainsaw. You see nothing was open within 75 miles of DeRidder, La to buy anything. She asked what kind of chainsaw I wanted and I told her get a Husqvarna with a 16-18' bar. She bought me a 137 Husqvarna and 'I am thinking I have a great saw'.
We have electricity back now and I did a search on your web site for this saw and only found the article in the news about the E series 137 -141 with your email at bottom. I went to a website and searched for info on this model only to find apparently the 137-141 model's are not Husqvarna at all but are made by Poulan, I am totally up-set. I asked for a Husqvarna saw and apparently got Poulan.

The statement below was taken directly from the web site: 'Husqvarna's 340, 345, and 350 would also be good choices. Avoid the 137 and 141, as they are simply rebadged Poulans, complete with the Poulan problems.' I have used the saw and it cut good however I am concerned about longevity. Had I known the saw was made by Poulan I would have told her not to buy that model and go for the real Husqvarna not a replica, in fact she called me and asked me if I wanted a Poulan I said no find a Husqvarna! There is something not right about this, when you are in the middle of a battle to save your house and community you don't have time to read fine print, research or anything you just rely on instutional knowledge as I did then, my friends in the pulpwood business use and recommend Husqvarna (wish I had one). Something is wrong with this picture if in fact the Husqvarna 137 is made by poulan? By the way the generator she bought a Coleman ran 2 days and quit lost food and ICE, its setting in the shop waiting on repair along with a building full of others, don't know when it will be repaired had to borrow another generator, hope my saw holds up.
I have read about the innovative things Husqvarna had built into this saw however the bottom line is: 'Is this saw built by Husqvarna or Poulan'? If it is built by Poulan I would take it back spend another $100 dollars and buy one built by Husqvarna if I could. Up-set in DeRidder, La! What do you think about Dewalt power tool, a 'premium' American brand. Engineering is outsourced to an Indian contract firm and built in China by another contract firm? Is it a Dewalt? Very few products/brands are what a most ppl think they are.
An Electrolux 'Husky' saw engineered in Sweden built with model specific parts at an Electrolux AYP plant in the USA sounds pretty close to the Stihl Virginia Beach operation. Most ppl consider those 'Stihls'. BMW actually outsources an entire vehicle to a different company and country. Can't remember, which one,X5? I don't think GE appliance makes hardly any washers or dryers anymore. Might be fridges, can't remember. All are subbed out.

I wouldn't be too (proper grammer Simonizer) hard on the little 137/142, they have a market purpose. I know a former Plant Manager for that operation and he is definitely not ashamed of them. Mange said: “ If you bought a mexican made Dodge or chevy, would you think it was the same as a US made one?I don't know, but it should be, or even better. Everything comes down to the design and the specs that they are built to. A product that does not live up to the spec will not pass quality control. And don't forget that quality brands have their name to protect. I don't think STIHL or HVA would allow for ex.
US products to be manufactered with lesser quality than the european ones or the other way around. Last but not least, I have been fortunate to travel a lot in my life, and the feeling of the superior western technology or quality of labour has long gone by now. The Tigers out in the East are catching up quicker than you can imagine, and the time that we will be logging or bucking with top quality saws out of China or Mexico may be not too far off. Belgian said: “ And don't forget that quality brands have their name to protect. I don't think STIHL or HVA would allow for ex. US products to be manufactered with lesser quality than the european ones or the other way around.This is why the pro saws are made here. The consumer saws is just not that important, to build saws here is much more expencive than over seas.
To build saws here is not fair since they are sold at common market with saws built cheeper, that is why the consumer saws exist in my opinion to get money in to the company. To solve this problem E-lux build their consumer saws at the same places with same rules and prices as the rest of them. I do not belive E-lux will produce saws here in the future if nothing major happends.
It all comes down to money in the end. Mange, you are definitely correct. It is all about showing increased earnings each Qtr. I don't think anyone looks past the next quarterly earnings report. Unfortunately I am speaking from a remarkably informed position. Company leadership is ultimately responsible to the stock holders.
People buy company stock to make more money,now. Most investors want analyst to say great things about this quarter not about great decisions that will postion a company for great earnings five years from now. That's were the Japanese killed all of us in the 70's, 80's and 90's. They might be moving towards the American and European way of investing now. Better learn Chinese and Indian!!! I don't think many Americans truly understand how serious the problem is with mfg in the USA.
Ppl complain about everything going oversees then dump the first stock in their portfolio that actually performed ok but missed the earnings report. That company has to do something. They are obligated to the shareholders. So then the hunt begins to outsource something. Hell, just the press associated with talking about a closure and outsourcing will bump a stock. I am very aware of a company that will be closing an obscenely profitable operation and moving it to Mexico to pick up one point!!
