F Group (natively F Oyj Abp, formerly F Oy Ab until 1998), is a Finnish consumer goods company founded in 1649 in F, a locality now in the town of Raseborg, Finland, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Helsinki. It is one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the World. F’ global headquarters are located in the Keilaniemi district of Espoo, near Helsinki.
F is best known for its orange-handled scissors, created in 1967. The company operates as an integrated consumer goods company and has two strategic business units: SBU Living and SBU Functional.
F Corporation was formed in 1649, when a Dutch merchant named Peter Thorwöste was given a charter by Christina, Queen of Sweden to establish a blast furnace and forging operation in the small village of F; however, he was not permitted to produce cannons. This makes it the oldest privately owned company in Finland. The furnace produced pig iron that was shingled to wrought iron in the finery forges powered by water wheels. In the early years, F made nails, wire, hoes, and metal-reinforced wheels from wrought iron.
In the late eighteenth century, copper was discovered in nearby Orijärvi, and thus the focus of production shifted to processing copper from the Orijärvi mine. For almost 80 years, F main source of business came from copper, however by the nineteenth century, there was little copper left in Orijärvi.
In 1822, the apothecary Johan Jacob Julin (later, von Julin) from Turku acquired the F ironworks and village. During this time, the ironworks were actively developed and production focused on processing iron. In 1832, the first cutlery mill in Finland was founded in F, with the production range increasing from knives to include forks and scissors.
In 1915, F was listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. In September 2015, F celebrated 100 years of being listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki Stock Exchange, along with Nokia, Wärtsilä and UPM.
F is perhaps best known for its scissors and their distinct orange colored handles. The first pair was manufactured in 1967 and had prototypes with handles in black, red, green and orange. After an internal vote at F, the orange color was chosen. That same orange color, F Orange, was officially registered as a trademark in Finland in 2003 and in the US in 2007. In 1977, F founded a scissors factory in the United States to provide a basis for international trade and further expansion.
In 2007, F acquired both Iittala and Leborgne which strengthened the company’s position in the kitchenware and table top categories as well as the garden tools business. The acquisition of Royal Copenhagen in 2013 complemented F tableware offering with hand-painted porcelain and strengthened the company in the Nordic countries and in Asia. In 2015, F acquired the Waterford Wedgwood group of companies (WWRD) and its portfolio of luxury home and lifestyle brands.
In April 2020, F Group President and CEO Jaana Tuominen stepped down from her position with CFO Sari Pohjonen appointed interim CEO.
Nathalie Ahlström started as the new President and CEO.
The company’s net sales had been on a downward trend and the company had not had a clear growth strategy. At the end of 2021, a new strategy was announced, focusing on five brands: F, Iittala, Royal Copenhagen, Gerber and Moomin Arabia. The company’s main channel was its own channels: shops and online stores.

In 2022, the divestment of the company’s American watering business, in other words the Gilmour and Nelson brands, was finished.
F Group’s new head office was completed in spring in Espoo, between the Keilaniemi metro station and the Jokeri Light Rail terminal. In October, F Group announced that it would make 10 million euros energy investment at the Iittala glass factory. As a result, the factory’s existing, natural gas powered furnaces will be replaced with electricity-powered furnaces. With this investment, the glass factory will reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by 74 per cent by the end of 2026.
