The beginning of the company's history was in 1865 when mining engineer Fredrik IDEST (Fin. Knut Fredrik Idestam) founded in Tampere, in southwestern Finland, a small paper factory. Owned company it was in 1871 renamed Nokia Ab.

At the end of the XIX century Mehelina plans to expand its business to generate electricity and produce cables at odds with the ideas Idestama. In 1896 IDEST departed from Nokia Ab control, and which took place Mehelin president was able to push through his idea to the shareholders. In 1902, power generation was one of the activities of the company Nokia Ab.

Founded in 1898, the company for the production of rubber products Finnish Rubber Works in 1922 gained control over the company Nokia Ab and over founded in 1912 by the production of cables Finnish Cable Works, and in 1967 there was a formal merger of the three companies into one  . To this operation to satisfy the then Finnish law, formally Finnish Rubber Works and Finnish Cable Works have joined Nokia Ab, the smallest of the three.

The combined company had five main activities: the production of rubber products (modern company Nokian), cables and electronics, wood processing and power generation. Over the years, they added a few minor, for example, the production of hunting rifles, plastics and chemicals.

The new company was engaged in various manufacturing, creating a certain period of paper products, car and bicycle tires, footwear, various cables, televisions and other consumer electronics, personal computers, electric generators, robotics, capacitors, military communications and equipment (such as encryption text communicator Sanomalaite M / 90 and M61 gas mask for the Finnish army), plastics, aluminum and chemicals.

Entering the digital age, before all, Nokia is doing the most important strategic decision in its history.
