HISTORIA 2
Strömsbruk’s history 2
​
Forest resources and products were prominent in Strömsbruk’s next chapter.
​
The company had good access to forest, as well as to water power.
The old shipping dock in Strömsbruk, the so-called Skutbryggan, had been replaced by a harbour in the nearby village of Stocka.
​
In 1896 the Lundqvist dynasty began as the dynamic engineer C F Lundqvist took over company leadership. During his management the company grew considerably and its forest resources more than quadrupled.
​
During WW1 a profitable distillery was added, with an annual capacity of 1 million litres of 190 proof alcohol.
​
C F Lundqvist’s younger brother, Oscar, took over in 1922 and land transport and shipping were modernised, among other things.
