Gense was founded in Eskilstuna, Sweden in 1856 by Gustav Eriksson and is one of the Nordic region's largest and best-known suppliers of the highest quality cutlery in silver and stainless steel.

Gense's products have always been characterised by both classic and innovative designs - with a perfect combination of form and function. In 1982, Gense received the title of Royal Court Supplier from the Swedish king, which is clear proof that Gense's products are of the highest quality.
