A six-frame steam sawmill was built with financial assistance from 33 creditors, mostly landowners. The sawmill was the largest in the region and faced strong opposition from the competitor Bergman - Hummel & Co.

Nyborg's sawmill was established largely with borrowed money. Additionally, the firm E. A. Norén from Marseille invested 180 000 kronor. Thirty-three landowners in the parish served as guarantors for the extensive loans.

The newly established company promised better payment to its participating farmers for their timber deliveries to their own sawmill. On October 19, 1878, Calix Ångsåg went bankrupt with severe consequences for the creditors and those who had sold timber to the sawmill. Prices returned to the old levels.

The bankruptcy estate was eventually purchased by Bergman-Hummel, and the operations were resumed for a period to replace Karlsborg's sawmill, which burned down in December 1899. The sawmill closed down for good in 1901.

South of the sawmill building was the loading area with sawn timber drying before delivery. Ships docked and loaded at the so-called Kontorskajen (Office Quay). The area is constructed on shavings and "spink." Spink is the surplus from timber sawing and consists of the edge 

wood of the logs. The quays throughout the area are built of spink, which can be seen at the water's edge, even though they have later been covered with soil.

The image shows the Manager's Residence that belonged to Nyborg's Steam Sawmill. Notice the Union flag waving in the picture, indicating that the photo was taken no later than 1905.

View of the sawmill area with a schooner to the left in the image, loading sawn timber at the so-called "Kontorskajen" (Office Pier). To the left of the sawmill building was the storage area where sawn timber was left to dry. The area is built on sawdust and spink. Spink is the excess wood from timber sawing, consisting of the outer wood of the logs. The piers throughout the area are constructed of spink, which can be seen at the water's edge, even though they were later covered with soil. To the right are the workers' residences and the Manager's Residence.
