Fiskars scissors and garden tools

Founded in 1649 in the village of Fiskars, Finland, the brand is one of the oldest companies in the Western world. It originally began as an ironworks and has since evolved into a global leader in consumer goods, most famously known for its iconic orange-handled scissors introduced in 1967.

Today, Fiskars products are manufactured in several locations worldwide to meet global demand. While the high-end axes and some premium gardening tools are still produced in Finland, other product lines, including various scissors and kitchenware, are manufactured in facilities across Poland, China, and Vietnam. This global production network ensures that the heritage of Finnish design is accessible to a worldwide market while maintaining strict quality standards.

The brand remains the flagship label of the Fiskars Group, a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq Helsinki. The group has expanded significantly over the centuries through strategic acquisitions, positioning itself as a powerhouse in the home, garden, and outdoor categories, while staying deeply rooted in its Finnish heritage and design philosophy.
