Economy

Long traditions with mining of iron and sulphur made Malm an industrial centre of the county. The mining company Fosdalen Bergverk was owned by the state of Norway and some of the profit was spent to build a top modern primary school. The school of Malm was one of three pioneer schools in Norway, which started a 3-year long middle school in the 1950s. New small industry has been established since the end of the mining period, where steel constructions for offshore vessels and bridges are made.
