'''Skigo AB''' is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[manufacturing company]]<ref>[http://www.largestcompanies.com/company/Skigo-AB-216493 Skigo AB] on Largest Companies website</ref> of [[winter sports]] products, with its head office and production located in the city of [[Kiruna]]. Current range of products by Skigo includes [[ski]] [[ski wax|waxes]], [[ski pole|poles]] and gloves. The company was founded by former [[cross-country skiing (sport)|cross-country skier]] [[Christer Majbäck]] and its products are distributed worldwide.

Skigo has had many firsts in the development of ski waxes, including the use of silicon, and was one of the early adopters of using PTFE in ski wax. 

Skigo was started by Hagmans AB in 1979. In the early 1990s Skigo merged with the Lind-Ex brand. Both wax brands continued to be distributed separately until shortly after 1992 the decision was made to unify both brands under the Skigo name. The top waxes from each brand were retained under the unification.  Skigo added ski poles and gloves to its product line in the early 2000s. Ski clothing began to be added in 2008 and roller skis in 2009. Research and development continues today in Kiruna with improvements and new waxes.<ref>[http://www.langd.se/christer-majback-saljer-del-av-skigo-till-norge.5064833-344564.html Christer Majbäck säljer del av Skigo till Norge] by Johan Trigg, 13 Jun 2012</ref>
