The World’s #1 Scissors Brand, Fiskars has set up a new home in Malaysia by appointing Glasir Asgard Sdn. Bhd. as the brand’s official distributor for the range of Finnish home tools in the country.
As one of the oldest businesses in the western world, Fiskars started in 1649 as an ironworks company in the Finnish village of the same name. Renowned for their stainless steel, they revolutionised scissors by creating the first pair with a plastic handle. In 1967, after World War II, they began to mass-produce scissors to great acclaim.
Today, the Fiskars brand has expanded their range of tools to include all sorts of cutting apparatuses. The simple philosophy they cling to is to create solutions to an array of problems, to give users a better life. The tools fall under three main categories: creating, cooking, and gardening.
Fiskars’ crafting tools allow for all forms of creative expression. From shape and template punchers, craft knives, cutting mats, and paper trimmers to kid-friendly scissors. For the more focused crafters, the brand offers embossing, eyelet setting, and die-cutting tools.
The cooking tools forged to help us savour gastronomic situations are not limited to knives and kitchen scissors. Fiskars offers an array of other kitchen tools, like pots, pans, other cooking utensils, and cutlery.
Fishers also produce a range of tools that consist of small bonsai scissors, shears, tree pruners, and axes. The gardening range also includes tools that care for the soil like spades, shovels, rakes, weeding tools, cleaning tools, and snow clearing tools – though it’s likely that last one will be moot in Malaysia’s tropical heat.
All Fishers products will be available in Malaysia from 2017. For more information, visit glasirasgard.com.
