Fiskars Classic Universal Scissors

Fiskars is one of the world's oldest companies, founded in 1649 in the village of Fiskars, Finland. The brand is most famous for its iconic orange-handled scissors, which were first introduced in 1967 and have since become a design classic recognized globally. The orange color was originally chosen as a result of a prototype designer's whim using leftover plastic from a juicer, but it became so synonymous with the brand that 'Fiskars Orange' is now a registered trademark.

While the original production began in Finland, where the premium Classic line is still manufactured at the Billnäs factory, the brand's immense growth has led to a global manufacturing presence. Today, Fiskars products are produced in various locations, including Finland, Vietnam, and China, depending on the specific product line and target market. The brand remains under the ownership of Fiskars Corporation, a major Finnish consumer goods company that has expanded its portfolio to include other prestigious lifestyle brands like Iittala, Royal Copenhagen, and Gerber.
