In our municipality you can live a rich life and it is not expensive to settle down here. Hofors is located in the west of the district Gästrikland 50 kilometres from Gävle and 30 kilometres from Falun. Hofors will probably always be associated with iron and steel.

Today we have our modern industrial plant, Ovako, but we can look back upon two thousand years of handling iron.

Nowadays, though, we have committed ourselves to developing a diversified trade and industry in our community.
