HAGS Europe
Swedish Design Heritage
HAGS has been designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing commercial recreational equipment since 1948. As an integral part of the global leader PlayPower Inc, the business supplies play, sports and Fitness, park and urban, marine and shade equipment around the world.
Our goal is to be the leading supplier of recreational equipment and solutions in the market, by having the highest level of quality and value for products and service. Our commitment is to help our customers on their journey to deliver outstanding recreational areas and facilities for their stakeholders and communities.
Our journey started in Sweden 70 years ago with a mission to make the world a better place by providing outdoor play equipment for children - a mission we still live up to through the range of products we design and manufacture today.
State of the art manufacturing in Sosnowiec, Poland
The facility is approximately 27,000m2 and is a greenfield site that includes new roadways and parking. The site has a bespoke, carefully planned design and layout which will maximise operational efficiencies, speed and quality management as well as simplifying the flow of materials and finished products.
The factory meets the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards which are internationally recognised certiications, giving our customers the satisfaction of knowing that they will not only get high quality products but production is more environmentally efficient.
As all the production of HAGS products now takes place under one roof, our manufacturing times are reduced. This location is ideally positioned to support the demand of the international customer base. Investments in the new factory, from new paint lines to infrastructure, will keep HAGS products competitive in an ever-changing market.
