Ironmaster Pehr Lagerhjelm played a significant role in the history of Bofors Works in Karlskoga,[2] where his contributions as a pioneering industrialist[3] were widely recognized. Noted Karlskoga author Alf Bande acknowledges Lagerhjelm as one of the most prominent and influential figures in the history of the arms manufacturer Bofors.[4]
In 1853, Lagerhjelm sold it to his sons Gustaf Reinhold and Per Erland Lagerhjelm.[5] Per Erland Lagerhjelm procured more Lancashire hearths.[5]
