The first and biggest house manufacturer of prefabricated houses

The company Ljusne Woxna AB, who belonged to the same group, started manufacturing Ljusne wooden house which later changed its name to Ljusnevägen house. 1943 began construction of a factory for prefabricated wooden buildings, production started in 1944. This was a natural development, the forest gave raw material, their own industries in Ljusnevägen provided sawn timber, plywood and board. A processing chain that many people today dream of getting to have. Another contributing factor was also a very intelligent company management foresaw a great future demand for residential and custom home both inside and outside the country, after the coming end of the war, which at that time could be discerned.

Production was at its inception about 100 houses a year but was increased after remedial rationalization and expansion to about 500 houses per year. It was now Sweden’s largest house of newly built houses were prefabricated indoors in a factory.

The manufacture of housings outer and inner wall blocks and hatches took place in the great hall of the nail specially designed nail benches. In a special section manufactured trusses and truss machine with great precision in a takstolspress, (hydro line).
