Klosters AB

Machine-translated from the Swedish article

Klosters AB was a Swedish steel company, formed in 1871, which comprised the three nearby ironworks in Husby parish: Klosters bruk, Långshyttan and Stjärnsunds bruk. The owners of Klosters bruk, wishing to expand their sheet-rolling mill due to limited water power at Kloster, were interested in acquiring the farmer-owned blast furnace at Långshyttan, where there was plenty of water power. In 1859 Klosters bruk had bought all shares in the blast furnace and in 1859–1860 built a new blast furnace, then the tallest in Sweden.
