Fiskars



 

 

During the seventeenth century a number of ironworks were founded in Finland. The large tracts of forestland in the Pohja region along with its unharnessed water power and good water routes made it an ideal centre for the Finnish iron industry. The ironworks at Antskog were founded around 1630, and Billnäs followed in 1641. Fiskars was started in 1649, and today is one of the oldest businesses in the Western world.

 

Many of the popular Fiskars products are designed, manufactured and tested in Finland. Largely thanks to Finnish craftsmanship, Fiskars has come a long way since it was founded as an ironworks in 1649; today, it is one of the oldest companies in the Western world.
