* The home of Arabia is in the Arabia region of Helsinki. It is quite extraordinary for an industrial plant so close to the centre of the capital to have remained in the same place since 1873. Even today, thousands of ceramicobjects are fired in the long tunnel kilns of the Arabia ceramics factory owned by Fiskars Corporations.
** Fiskars is a leading global supplier of branded consumer products for home, garden and outdoors. Fiskars products are renowned worldwide for their functionality and cutting-edge design. Founded in 1649, Fiskars celebrated 360 years of operations in 2009 as Finland's oldest company.
