Early history
Nobel Laureate in Stockholm was born in Stockholm. Fonderies et Ateliers Mécaniques Nobel Fils, a company that manufactures war machinery such as mines and steam engines, was given by his father's financiers the scientific oversight of the family company. Since the completion of the Crimean War in 1856 due to a significant reduction in the military budget ordered by the new Tsar Alexander II, the company had been suffering financial difficulties, and eventually, Immanuel's company was sold by his creditors in 1862.
Ludvig founded the Machine-Building Factory Ludvig Nobel with some funds he had managed to save. The plant that made chilled cast-iron shells in a few years became Russia's top gun carriage manufacturers.
Early success in Russia
Ludvig was running the St. Petersburg factory and obtained a large contract to produce rifles for the Russian government, but he needed wood for the rifle stocks. In 1873, he sent his oldest brother, Robert Nobel, to buy Russian walnut wood in the Caucasus region of southern Russia. Robert spent the 25,000 rubbles that Ludvig contracted to him for wood (walnut money) instead of buying a small refinery in Baku without consulting his brother. Ludvig also invested in modernization and refinery efficiency. The Nobel brothers established themselves as Baku's most dependable refiner, exporting the first batch of illuminating oil to St. Petersburg by 1876. Ludvig converted the initial business into a shareholding firm, Branobel, in which he was the major shareholder and had as co-partners Robert and Alfred Nobel.
