They started with producing ship's nails, but soon other tools were added, like axes and shovels. The Ekelund family acquired the forge around 1820. In the late 19th century, Gunnar Ekelund modernised the production process to American standards. Many of the innovations he introduced can still be seen in Hultafors axes. For example, the shape of the Agdor axe heads. Want to know more about the production process? We paid a visit to Hultafors in Sweden! | | | | | | | | | |
