Alfred Nobel founded an explosives factory in 1873 in the buildings of a paper factory that had opened in 1853. It was there that the dynamite invented by Nobel was manufactured, specifically for the Gotthard railway tunnel.
Up until 2001, explosives for power plant construction were still being produced here. Today only nitroglycerin is produced for medicinal purposes.
