NOKIA - is based in Finland
Nokia was established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Finland-Swede Knut Fredrik Idestam on the banks of Nokia rapids. Finnish Rubber Works established its factories in the beginning of 20th century nearby and began using Nokia as its brand. Shortly after World War I Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia wood mills as well as Finnish Cable Works, a producer of telephone and telegraph cables. At one time in history Nokia was a major manufacturer of boots for the military. All three companies were merged as Nokia Corporation in 1967. The name Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town of the same name (Nokia). The town and river are named after a small black marten found in the region.
Current Nokia's CEO is Jorma Ollila, was Senior Vice President and CFO (1986-89), after which he became the President of the Mobile Phone Division. He became president and CEO of Nokia in 1992.
