ABOUT Sala Kakel- och Keramikfabrik 1904-1932 Carl Hildor Lundgren, born in 1870, founded Sala Kakel- och Keramikfabrik in 1904 after apprenticing as a tile stove maker. Initially small, the factory grew, notably profiting during World War I by stockpiling glaze additives. Despite declining tile stove production, the factory expanded in 1924 to include ornament manufacturing. Lundgren's son-in-law, Olle Forsell, joined as head of design. Tragically, in 1932, a fire destroyed the factory, prompting Lundgren to sell to Upsala Ekeby and retire. He thereafter focused on real estate, while Forsell continued representing Upsala Ekeby. Lundgren's legacy persists through Sala's industrial history, with notable figures like Forsell contributing to its ceramic heritage. See less
