Fiskars Real estate

Developing our assets

Real Estate is responsible for managing properties in Fiskars Village and other locations, including the Group's production sites in Finland. The unit also develops Fiskars' 15,000 hectares of land and 3,700 hectares of water, the majority of which are located in and around Fiskars Village and on the Hankoniemi peninsula in southern Finland.

Long-term approach to forestry

Fiskars' forests include both productive stands of timber and various protected habitats. Changes in the fair value of the company's standing timber are based on a three-year rolling average of timber prices, and are presented as a separate entry in the income statement under operating profit.

Forest management practices are based on a long-term, sustainable approach, and all 11,000 hectares of commercial forest are certified under the PEFC system. Fiskars has also been involved in developing the FSC forest certification system.

Fiskars' Laatupuu sawmill supplies high-quality specialty timber to the furniture and joinery industry. More information: Fiskars Laatupuu

Sustainable hunting and fishing are also a feature of land use in the Fiskars area.

Fiskars Village as a place to live

Real Estate is also actively involved in the development of the Raseborg area, where one of the most important projects recently has been a new land use plan for Fiskars Village, developed together with the local municipality. The plan will release additional building plots for leasing and sale in Fiskars Village, and should help encourage positive further growth and development in the area.

Fiskars has a number of parcels of land for sale in western Uusimaa and the town of Salo for housing and holiday use. Fiskars has housing and business locations for rent in Fiskars Village, and houses for rent in Skogby on the Hankoniemi peninsula.

Fiskars Village as a tourist destination

Fiskars Village, the company's birthplace, is easily the most well-known part of the Real Estate portfolio - and has become an internationally renowned center of Finnish design and art, attracting around 150,000 visitors a year. Its history goes back to 1649 and today it offers visitors things to see and do all year round. High-class conference and restaurants services make Fiskars Village the perfect event venue.
