A few words about the manufacturer
Fiskars is a manufacturer with a long history. It began back in 1649. It just so happened that in those days the Swedes ruled the Finnish lands, trying to master as much territory as possible.

The owners of Fiskars have been constantly changing for two centuries, which, of course, could not negatively affect its development. The enterprise was threatened with bankruptcy many times. Salvation and stability, paradoxically, was the annexation of the Finnish territory to Russia.
