Description

Explore the original ironworks factory of Olofsfors for an insider’s look at how its production methods and resulting products have changed with the times. The company was founded in 1762 in the community of Nordmaling on a river that offered hydropower and near vast forests that could supply charcoal for fuel. The company made everything from wagon wheels to chains, its most successful product until the 1980s, when Olofsfors built a new factory elsewhere and grew its product line tenfold. The original factory presents a fascinating snapshot in time of an early ironworks that helped forge the future of Sweden. While touring the original factory and surrounding area, you will see the smelting house, the chain smithy and dozens of company homes. The experience will present a genuine look at life in a Swedish mill town centuries ago. A snack follows at Café Anno 1762, whose name reflects the date of Olofsfors’ founding.
