Established in 1865, Nokia has enjoyed a long-standing presence in the business world. Nokia boots, originating from the brand’s early focus on rubber products, are a notable product in their history. Nokian Footwear, a Finnish rubber boot manufacturer, was a division of Nokia—now renowned for mobile phones—from 1967 until 1990, when it became a separate entity. In 2005, the Finnish company Berner acquired Nokian Footwear.
