[1][2] Eda glasbruk glassworks factory was first founded in 1830 by Carl Christopher Lampa and Lars Wilhelm Ahlbom in Eda kommun in Värmland County, Sweden.
In 1842, new owners took over the glass factory and in 1862 moved a site in Surte, in Västra Götaland County, Sweden.
A branch location, first known as Geijer Fors Glass Works, was started in 1896 at Magnor, a village in the municipality of Eidskog, in Hedmark, Norway.
[3] Magnor Glassworks was established in a forested area near the border between Norway and Sweden.
The large forests supplied fuel for the melting furnaces.
