Several ironworkсхопs were founded in Finland in the seventeenth century. The large areas of forest land in the Pohja area, together with its undisturbed water flow and good water routes, have been an ideal centre for the Finnish iron industry. The railways in Antskog were founded around 1630, and in Billnäs followed in 1641. Fiskars was officially founded in 1649 and today is one of the oldest companies in the Western world. Fiskars serves consumers and customers worldwide with globally recognized brands such as Fiskars, Gerber, Iittala, Royal Copenhagen, Waterford and Wedgwood. Based on our mission to create a family of iconic brands, Fiskars' main vision is to create a positive, lasting impact on the quality of life.
