History of Nokia (How it began !! )

From humble beginnings in the forests of Finland, Nokia has been an industry leader since its early years, even though that industry hasn’t always been communications. The company of the world’s most recognized yet most unknown leaders. Coming from a rich heritage of diverse Finnish companies, Nokia has now been the bar-setter of the telecommunication industry for over a decade.
The Nokia Corporation was formed in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies of very different backgrounds. Fredrik Idestam founded Nokia Ab, the first of these three companies, in 1865. The company was a manufacturer of paper located in a paper mill and pulp plant on the banks of the Tammerkoski River. Nokia Ab later expanded to the Nokia Manor on the Nokia River in Finland. The second company, Finnish Rubber Works, was created at the turn of the 20th century. The company led in Finland’s production of rubber and the chemicals associated with it. The final company that would later make up Nokia, Finnish Cable Works, was established in 1912. Electricity was spreading throughout Finland, and the company was a leader in this process. Finnish Cable Works manufactured cables for the telegraph and supported the new uses of the telephone (Nokia History). The one common of Nokia Ab, Finnish Rubber Works, and Finnish Cable Works was the quality of being on the leading edge of their respective industries. When the three companies merged together in 1967 to create the Nokia Corporation, this leading-edge quality never the left the organization (“Telecommunications”). The multi-industry merger would create a balanced corporation.
