Nokia Company History
Beginnings of the Nokia Company History were in 1865 when a wood-pulp mill was set up in Southern Finland. It sold products with the brand name Nokia.
A community called Nokia was started and still exists on the riverbank of Emäkoski in southern Finland.
The Finnish Rubber Works started manufacturing in Nokia in the 1920s and branded its products, including gumboots, as Nokia.
The Finnish Cable Works also setup in Nokia, it produced cables for phone networks. By 1967 all three companies had merged to form the Nokia Group.
Nokia developed a digital switcher for telephone exchanges and also helped develop the world's first mobile phone network.
By the late 1980s Nokia had helped develop the GSM (Global Standard for Mobile communications) and had built more than 60 GSM networks in 31 countries around the world.
The company developed high quality, user friendly mobile phones that have made it the world market leader. I have used a Nokia since my first ‘mobile phone’ was one of those Motorola bricks with the huge battery pack – haven’t we come a long way.
