At the High Coast, on a peninsula in the Gulf of Bothnia, lies Mjällom, surrounded by nature that invites a rich outdoor life and an increased quality of life.
Mjällom has been an industrial area for more than 100 years. Already at the end of the 19th century, the development from a traditional agricultural, forestry and fishing society to an industrial society began. Then Måvikens Sawmill was started in Mjällom. After that, salteries were founded for the processing of fish, as well as flatbread bakeries.
In 1919, the manufacture of shoes was started in Mjällom. When production was at its peak, the shoe factories employed up to 500 people. These factories needed subcontractors, who could provide e.g. punch knives. In 1999, the last shoe factory moved from Mjällom.
