early as in the 15th century.
Stjernsund Works and
Långshyttan Iron Works

the Långshyttan- and Stjernsund Works were electrified, the Company employing for
the purpose partly its own power works and partly electric energy from the State Power
Works at Älvkarleby. New blooming mills were built, the blast furnace constructions
were re-built, and a third Siemens-Martin furnace was erected in 1916. Later on,
sintering works for concentrates have been built at Långshyttan and at Fors, besides
which, during the course of the last few years, there has been started at Långshyttan
electric steel smelting. A steel forge, with an hydraulic press, has also been
erected there.
Kloster’s carbon steel enjoys a recognized position in the very first rank on the
international market, and is greatly esteemed both on the Continent, in England and
in the U. S. A. Kloster’s
carbon steel has been
exported to England for
more than a century.

produced at the Kloster
