In the heart of Dalsland, surrounded by lakes and beautiful nature, lies Bengtsfors Municipality. Here, quality of life is combined with development opportunities in a secure and welcoming environment. Bengtsfors is perhaps best known for its scenic surroundings and its 399 lakes, which cover approximately 17 percent of the area, as well as the Dalsland Canal that runs through several towns in the municipality. The municipality has five urban areas, with Bengtsfors being the central town. The other towns are Dals Långed, Billingsfors, Bäckefors, and Skåpafors.

Bengtsfors Municipality is the largest employer in the area, and together we work to create a sustainable and attractive municipality for our employees, residents, and businesses. We value joy in work and strive to create an attractive working environment with high well-being and engagement – all set in one of Sweden's most beautiful natural locations.
