Kasthall

How was Kasthall created?

Kasthall was established in 1889 by entrepreneur Ludvig Andersson and was the first carpet factory of its kind in Sweden to utilize technology and electricity. As early as 1901, the entire production moved from “Källängs väveri” to new premises in Kinna, and the company has since been called "Kasthall." However, it wasn't until the 1920s that the company changed its name to Aktiebolaget Ludvig Andersson, Kasthall Mattor.

The company remains in Kinna but is now established in over 30 countries, with showrooms in both New York and Milan.
