Fiskars vibrant spirit of design, craftsmanship and creativity originated in Fiskars Village, Finland, where the company got its start.
Fiskars created its first pair of scissors over 180 years ago, forged from the world's best steel. Making scissors and cutlery demanded unprecedented skills and sharpening expertise and expert craftsmen were recruited from England and Sweden. To create the world's best scissors, Fiskars recruited the world's finest craftsmen.
This commitment to quality has remained unchanged for centuries. After persevering through the Great Depression and World War II, Fiskars management finally realized their plans to restructure the company for mass production. The productivity of Fiskars improved when Fiskars developed new ways for processing steel.
The product range expanded and Fiskars founded Finland's first metal spring factory. Drawing on the same spirit of innovation that gave us Fiskars start, Fiskars continue to look for ways to make Fiskars tools better and smarter.
