village was an industrial center until the foundry it was built around ceased operations after 350 years in the early 1990s. The foundry is now a cultural center and a hub of activity.
Beginning in the 17th century, the foundry functioned as a cannon workshop. Here, cannons were manufactured for the Swedish army in Europe. The foundry switched from producing military products to civilian radiators and stoves at the beginning of the 20th century. Between 1920 and 1980, pipes and other plumbing supplies were the company's primary products.
In the 1960s, when the foundry was at its peak, more than a thousand people worked there, as well as a few hundred in related occupations nearby.
Electrolux acquired the foundry in the 1980s and began manufacturing cookware plates. In 1990, Electrolux ceased operations, and several employees acquired the foundry. The area surrounding the foundry is still active, but less so than when it served as the village's focal point.
Today, the actual foundry serves as a center for local artists, and Hälleforsnäs has become the cultural heart of Sörmland. Both a restaurant and a seasonal herbal store are present. Moreover, the Jürss dairy company manufactures and sells award-winning cheese on-site.
