Swedish Armed Forces Sister city Madison, Mississippi Madison has been Sollefteå's sister city since 1997. Talks began in 1995 when Madison officials were meeting with the board of Sollefteå-based forestry products company, Haglof, Inc, for the latter was interested in opening a plant in Madison. The Madison officials came to Sollefteå and were more interested to learn about Swedish culture. A delegation of 30 members of the city of Sollefteå's board came to Madison to tour the city and make the sister city relationship official. During the visit, Haglof opened its new office in Madison, and another Swedish company, Mini Tube, was also interested in opening offices in Madison. After the people of the delegation of Sollefteå came to Madison, the latter sent 34 delegates to Sollefteå, once again to tour the city. The Madison delegates learned about Swedish culture and traditions, came to Haglof Inc.'s facilities, and toured an environmental center. Because of Sollefteå's and Madison's relationship, the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce was created in the latter.
