Guided factory tour
We offer guided tours of CTH Ericson's historic hat and cap factory located in the city center of Borlänge.
The tour is about hat fashion through the years and the history of the factory and the people who worked there.
During the tour we tell you about how it all started in 1885, to become Sweden's largest manufacturer of hats and caps with over 200 employees in the 50s. We still produce hats and caps in Borlänge and stepping into the hat factory is like stepping into a living museum.
CTH Ericson was named Industrial Heritage of the Year in 2006 for its well-preserved environment that tells the story of industrial society's production, technology and people.
The tour takes a total of 90 minutes and there is also the opportunity to shop in our factory store. The tour must be pre-booked and costs SEK 200 per person.
The minimum number of visitors per tour is 5 people, we therefore reserve ourselves for any canceled tours. We will notify you 48 hours in advance if this should occur.
We also accept groups from companies, associations and schools for private tours. For more information please contact us at cth@cthericson.se
This product is made in Sweden and built on a tradition that started already in the year 1885, when Carl Theodor Ericson, fourth generation hat maker, founded the C.Th Ericsons Hat Factory in Borlänge, Sweden.
Over the years, CTH’s high-quality headwear would become a part of Swedish cultural and industrial heritage. Today, almost 140 years later, we are still a family business, our hats are still manufactured by hand and we are still creating modern classics for future generations.
Not much has changed, really. And in that we take a lot of pride.
