Which Swedish scientist and chemist had a leading role in weapon production and sales during the 19th century?

Alfred Nobel was a famous chemist, engineer, and businessman. He was granted 355 patents, the most notable of which was for dynamite. He was the owner of Bofors, which he transformed from a mainly iron and steel company into a producer of cannons and other weapons. He donated all his wealth to the Nobel Prize organization after reading a premature obituary condemning him for benefiting from weapon sales.
