Fiskars, founded in 1649, is one of the oldest companies in the world and is named after a village 100 km from Helsinki in Finland. Originally, Fiskars made metal objects, tools, knives and nails.... In 1964, Fiskars launched its iconic orange-handled scissors, which are still one of the brand's best-sellers. In the 1980s, Fiskars launched axes with handles made from a revolutionary unbreakable fibreglass material called "Fiber comp". Always at the forefront of innovation, the brand is renowned for its scissors, hand tools for gardening, woodcutting and DIY. The result of extensive research and development, Fiskars products are functional, high-performance and durable to reduce effort and maximise gardening pleasure. The Fiskars group is committed to sustainable development, supporting projects to promote eco-responsible behaviour and changing its industrial processes for cleaner production in order to limit its carbon footprint.
