A little village in the municipality of Flen it is centrally situated 15 km (9 miles) from Flen, 32 km (20 miles) from Eskilstuna, 40 km (25 miles) from Katrineholm and 120 km (75 mi) south-west of Stockholm.
This village, has been a hive of industry until the beginning of the 1990s when the foundry that the village was built around was closed after 350 years (founded 1659). Nowadays the Foundry is a cultural centre and once again a hive of activity.
The foundry began as a cannon workshop, cannons were made and exported from here to the Swedish army in Europe. In the beginning of the 20th century the foundry started going over to civil production, making radiators and stoves. Between 1920 and 1980 the main products were pipes and other plumbing accessories.
During their high life in the 1960s there were over 1000 employees at the foundry and a few hundred people employed with subsidiary work round and about the foundry.
In the eighties the foundry was purchased by Electrolux, and production switched to producing plates for cookers until they closed in 1990 and the foundry was taken over by some of the employees. The area around the foundry is today still lively, but not the way it was when the foundry was the centre of the village.
Today: The actually foundry is a centre for artists in the area and Hälleforsnäs has become a cultural centre for the whole of Sörmland. There is a restaurant and during the summer months a herbal shop is open. There is also a Cheese making company (Jurss Dairy) which produces and sells award-winning cheese on site.
Riksdag elections
Hälleforsnäs has historically been a Social Democratic stronghold as a heavily industrialized village. Traditionally being the furthest left district in Flen Municipality, it has contributed to sizeable majorities in the full municipality. With the depopulation, lower participation in voting per capita combined with urbanization seen in Swedish industrial areas in the latter 20th century, the number of ballots cast in Hälleforsnäs has declined substantially. From 1994 to 2018, the Social Democrat vote share also dropped by 29 points whereas the Sweden Democrats grew rapidly in the village's vote share during the 2010s.
