ALBERT VON JULIN died at his residence in Fiskars, Finland, on June 7, 1906, at the age of sixty. He was born at Fiskars in 1846, and was the son of Mr. Johan Jacob von Julin, the owner of the Fiskars Ironworks.
In 1864 he studied in the mining school of Filipstad, in Sweden, and on the death of his father in 1867 he became the owner of the Koskis works, together with large landed interests in the neighbourhood. The works then consisted of a blast-furnace, and in 1870 he acquired a further interest in metallurgical industries by the purchase of the blast-furnace at Trollshofda, where he commenced the manufacture of iron by the Franche Comte process.
In 1884 the Fiskars works was acquired by a Limited Company, of which he became managing director.
He was elected a member of the Iron and Steel Institute in 1898.
