It is a central area for business, culture, research and development.
The Copper Valley is an area of ​​use dating back to the 17th century, which lies along the Dalälven river, between the entrance routes to the center, from highway 70. Here, until 1938, an ironworks cabin with rust ovens and blast furnaces was operated by the Axel Johnsson Group. Over the years, the buildings in the area have been carefully preserved and equipped. The work is only part of the whole, and belongs to the first part of the Copper Valley area.

Next to Verket is Kopparhallen, the old sheet metal works, which has been transformed into a modern sports hall. The industrial historical traces have been carefully preserved as part of the interior, and it's the overhead crane in Kopparhallen's ceiling that you first notice when it's time for handball, floorball, and volleyball. 

The other part of Koppardalen consists of a business park, with an impressive diversity. Here you can find everything from Outokumpu Stainless AB's research and development department, OKQ8's customer service, Karl Hedins timber yard, Avesta Park, and Garden, among others.
