History example
1660
Georg Camitz, a nobleman who immigrated from Silesia, received a privilege from the Bergskollegium to establish a hammer with two hearths by the salmon-rich Letälven river. The ironworks were set up at Degerforsen, “the great rapids”.
1666
Camitz received permission to build an additional hammer with one hearth, known as the Upper Works, in contrast to the first, called the Lower Works.
Mid-1850s
Technological improvements were made by replacing older methods with the Lancashire forging process. A blast furnace, two hammers, and six Lancashire hearths were added, along with roughing and finishing mills that annually rolled 4,500 tons.
