Welcome to Gällivare, home of our Malmberget mine. Here's where our transformation begins, with the construction of a first production plant for carbon dioxide-free sponge iron and the electrication of the mine itself. Large-scale mining has been going here since the late 1880s and today, we’re proud to keep this legacy going. With stunning natural surroundings and a rich cultural heritage, Gällivare is also a gem for outdoor enthusiasts.
Alexander Cooke and Anna Hynynen are two of those who have taken the step and moved to Gällivare, one from England and the other from southern Sweden. What they both have in common is a great interest in outdoor activities, as well as a fascination with mountains and mines, and a strong desire to work for something greater – to contribute to the green transition.
For over half a century, Malmberget has been going through an urban transformation. At present, Malmberget is being phased out, some of it being demolished and other parts relocated, while the twin town of Gällivare is expanding. Although it's not an easy process, it's crucial for mining to continue.
