History

The Nokia group was born in June 1966 from fusion from three industries going up at the 19th century and bearing this name already: paper mill, rubber and cables. The firm launches out in the television sets in the Années 1970, but continues to be a conglomerate “  touch with tout  ”. The takeoff of the mark is done in 1992 when the group gets rid of all its activities apart from telecommunications.

Nokia was its greater success in telecommunications about the year 2000 with its very famous cellphone Nokia 3210.

June 18th, 2006, Nokia and Siemens AG announce the fusion of their activities of telecommunications, thus giving rise to a world giant: Nokia Siemens Networks.

In August 2007, the firm announces the recall of 46 million batteries of the Matsushita mark in India, because of the risks of overheating of those. That causes immense demonstrations in all the country
