Alfred personally invented dynamite and owned a major weapons dealing company named Bofors, which has since been acquired by the multibillion dollar weapons manufacturing giant BAE Systems, a key player in the military industrial complex. Alfred also found Dynamit Nobel AG in 1865 which is still in operation, a multibillion dollar German chemical and weapons company.
