Part one out of four of the Wendel’s series
The Story
In the late 1700th Bruno Wendel, Carl Johan and Eduard Boye bought
Mölnlycke messuage and factory. None of the previous owner's
heirs of Råda Säteris freehold property were interested,
so the three partners repaired the factories and bought new
machines to the newly created Mölnlycke
Manufakturaktiebolag.
The few citizens of the Råda district was not enough to
supply the factory with workers. The need for workers from other
localities grew. Wendel found skilled workers in Borås and in
the areas of Viskan. The result - entire families came wandering
from the Sjuhärad district to Mölnlycke to work for
Wendel.
In some years time Bruno Wendel would become one of Sweden's
wealthiest individuals.
