About Fiskars

Established in 1649 as an ironworks in a small Finnish village of the same name, Fiskars has grown to become a global supplier of consumer products for the home, garden and outdoors. Available in more than 60 countries, Fiskars products solve everyday problems, making daily home, garden and outdoor projects easier and more enjoyable through superior performance and design.

Fiskars' expansion began with the founding of a scissors factory in the United States. Our lightweight, ergonomic design worked so well that many home seamstresses declared them off limits to the rest of the family and hid them away for special projects. Building on the popularity of the orange handled scissors, Fiskars expansion began with the founding of a factory in the United States in 1977.
