The Lövåsen lead and silver factory in Stora Skedvi was one of the first factories to be connected with the Grill family.
The Swedish government handed over the administration of the factory to Anthoni Grill (I) in 1656, to be used as a laboratory and workshop by him.
He had claimed that he was in possession of a secret "matter" that would enable him to extract much more copper, lead, silver and gold from the ore than by other conventional methods.
He experimented fore some years at the laboratory, but he never improved the extraction process, and was consequently demoted from his position at the mine.
As of 2014, there are no visible remains of the mine or the factory.
