Sako

SAKO’s journey from small, stoic outfit to celebrated multinational business mirrors the creation of modern Finland. It’s a story that runs parallel to many of the key events in the country’s recent history, and one that highlights the determination of its people to pursue their own vision of excellence in design, manufacturing, and business.

In 1983, owner Nokia merged Sako with Tikkakoski, a Finnish company known for producing first consumer durables and later firearms. In much the same way as SAKO, Tikkakoski has a rich and interesting history – a story that sits alongside the ebb and flow of international conflict. Today, Tikka is a vital part of the SAKO story, with a range of products integral to the wider company’s operations.
