Claes father passed away in 1725, whereupon he and his uncle Carolos took over the firm. Carolos & Claes Grill soon became Sweden’s leading merchant house. Their trade involved, shipping, East-India trade, co-owner of sail and linen manufactory, glassworks, shipyards, a bank and they owned a line of mines and estates. The family was one of the first in investing in the new venture The Swedish East-India Company, and Claes became one of its directors in 1753. Claes married his cousin in 1737, Carolos daughter, the reputed beauty Anna Johanna.
