Fiskars Corporation is a metal and consumer brands company founded in 1649 in Fiskars bruk, today Fiskars ruukki in the municipality of Pohja, Finland located cirka 100 kilometres west for Helsinki along the ancient mainroad from Turku to Vyborg. Most noticeable products of Fiskars are their scissors and axes, but the knives are also worth mentioning.

History

The Fiskars Corporation was formed in 1649 when a Dutch merchant named Peter Thorwöste was given a charter to establish a blast furnace and forging operation in the small village of Fiskari (Fiskars in Swedish), near Helsinki. In the early years, Fiskars made nails, wire, hoes, and metal reinforced wheels from pig iron.

As industrial and economic development accelerated in Europe, Fiskars was on the forefront of innovation, and expanded the knifeworks to become a premier steel and ironworks company, manufacturing agricultural machinery, steam engines, and household utensils, including candlesticks, forks, and scissors. The first pair of Fiskars scissors was created more than 130 years ago, and made of heavy forged steal. Their maybe most famous brand, the orange colored scissors were designed in 1967. Fiskars was also one of the first companies in Europe to manufacture microwave ovens.

Fiskars was listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in 1915.

Fiskars is now a holding company. Their largest holding is Fiskars Brands, which still produces the traditional craft and garden products that made the company famous.
