Uddeholmsbolaget was founded year 1668 when the county governor Mr Harald Posse established a manor by the farm house Ufve (in present Uddeholm) and gave Mr Johan Gustafsson-Karlström an assignment to establish a smelting-house nearby. This was then built in Stjärnsfors.
Now the foundation was made to what was to become one of the world leading producers of steel - Uddeholmsbolaget, now named Uddeholm AB.
