Göran Fredrik Göransson, born in Gävle in 1819, joins Elfstrand’s, the trading firm his father manages and eventually becomes manager himself. As Elfstrand’s is about to go broke, Göransson buys a decisive patent from the English inventor Sir Henry Bessemer.

History special 01: Göransson and Bessemer

Intensive experimentation in Edsken with the Bessemer method for steel production takes place during the first half of 1858. By July that year he has succeeded and decides to build a new factory and accommodation for workers in Sandviken by lake Storsjön.

Göran Fredrik Göransson, född i Gävle 1819, ansluter sig till Elfstrand & Co, företaget hans far driver och blir till slut chef där själv. När Elfstrands är nära konkurs köper Göransson ett patent från den engelska uppfinnaren Sir Henry Bessemer.

Historiespecial 01: Göransson och Bessemer-processen

Intensivt experimenterande med Bessemer-processen äger rum i Edsken under den första halvan av 1858. I juli har han lyckats och bestämmer sig för att bygga en ny fabrik samt bostäder åt arbetarna vid Storsjön i Sandviken.

Historiespecial 02: En ny fabrik och en ny stad

Höga lån och för lite inkomst tvingar Fredrik och företaget till konkurs under 1866 men efter några år var företaget på fötter igen. Redan 1871 var företaget den största tillverkaren av gjutjärn i Sverige.
