Region of Tampere Description |
|
|
Pirkanmaa, Birkaland in Swedish, or the Tampere Region (official English name), is a region (maakunta/landskap) of Finland. It borders to the regions of Satakunta, Tavastia Proper, Päijänne Tavastia, Southern Ostrobothnia and Central Finland. As the name implies, the city of Tampere is the regional centre.
Nokia (pronounced /ˈnokiɑ/ in IPA) is a small town in the region of Tampere and the province of Western Finland, some 15 km west of Tampere.
Telecommunication giant Nokia was established in Nokia, its namesake. The now billion-dollar company was founded by Fredrik Idestam in 1865 as a pulp mill for manufacturing paper. Finnish Rubber Works Ltd (Suomen Gummitehdas Osakeyhtiö) (founded 1898) set up a factory in Nokia in 1904. These two companies and Finnish Cable Works Ltd ("Suomen kaapelitehdas Oy") amalgamated in 1967 forming Nokia Corporation. Different branches of this conglomerate were split into several companies or sold off around 1990. The rubber works still operates in Nokia as Nokian Tyres and the paper mill as Georgia-Pacific Finland Oy. The telecommunication company Nokia no longer has any operations in the town of Nokia.
