The Wood Factory and Valea Ierii

Did you know the wood factory operated for 110 years?!

In 1895, Count Iuliu Andrassy opened the first sawmill in Valea Ierii (known by locals as the "Big Factory").
Machinery from Austria and Italy, along with craftsmen from Tyrol and Hungary, laid the foundation for an activity that would become the heart of the commune until 2005.

This factory was fundamental in the development of both Valea Ierii and the surrounding region.
