Fiskars Corporation

Fiskars is an international corporation with its roots and soul in Fiskars Works, founded in Finland in 1649. Fiskars Corporation includes the subsidiaries Fiskars Brands, Inha Works, and the Real Estate Group. The associated company Wärtsilä Corporation is an important part of Fiskars Corporation. Fiskars employs some 3,000 people around the world.

Fiskars Brands has four consumer product divisions: Craft; Garden; Housewares; and Outdoor Recreation. Inha Works manufactures Buster® aluminum boats, hinges, and forged products mainly for the Nordic markets. The Real Estate Group administers the company's holdings of approximately 15,000 hectares of land and buildings in south-western Finland, part of which is Fiskars Village.

During its history, Fiskars has developed into a corporation with many areas of business. In recent decades its focus has been on production and distribution of consumer goods. Internationalization has promoted professional knowledge and growth, where the combination of innovation and design has given birth to successful products. Best known globally are the Fiskars® orange-handled scissors, which 40th anniversary the company celebrates in 2007, and various garden tools.

Fiskars' values have remained strong over the centuries - already in the 17th century the Fiskars hallmark was a sign of excellent quality bar iron. Still today, knowing its own history and learning from it is important to the corporation.
